about 'intergenerational relationships" .

You are recommended to play the roles of TV host/ TV hostess,

social worker (a specialist in social relationships),
grandmother/grandfather and grandson/ granddaughter (who are
the social case/ guests of the upcoming episode) in this ABC talk show.

You will need to gather into a group of 4, each person will play one
role of the aforementioned characters.

The TV host presents the topic of this episode , the grandparent and

information about their personalities, differences and similarities/ their
points of disagreement and agreement) and the social worker will
