- Goals
Research shows that children generally have a very dim view of aging. Although they have a great deal of esteem for elders, children are afraid of growing older themselves. The stereotype of infirmity and passivity during later years is common among children, but those who have contact with elders are less likely to have a negative stereotype of aging.

By becoming involved in their lives 1xbet best casino website can help children realize that aging is no tragedy, that they can look forward with hope and confidence to their own future.
