The first time I took my little girls to a Retirement Home. Some of the 'old soldiers' had almost given up...thinking that no one was interested in their lives.
Happy to report...we have changed their minds.
I try and take them to visit that same home at least once a month. My girls look forward to the visits....as do the people at the home.
Take your 11 year old...it will be worth it.
