Na'n'Pa
A 12 week-long program from caring (grand) children
12 weeks and 24 lessons to keep your parents or grandparents healthy and functional.
Chronological age is an expired concept
Our grandparents are not defined by the tic toc on the clock. There are different type of "ages" that are a much more accurate reflexion of our well-being, namely:
-
Functional age
-
Biological age
-
Psychological age
-
Social Age
How does it work?
This program is designed for the children and grandchildren of the 60 to 94 years old. Grand-parents are also welcomed to join the program on their own if they do wish so and if they feel they can overcome the "digital hurdle" that exist with online classes (to have your children in the class with you is also perfectly okay).
Assessments will be taught early in the 12 week curriculum and having a third person that understands the hows and whys is very important.
Seven to nine clients meet twice a week online on Google Meet (also called hangouts) for 60minutes and receives handouts after each conference call. One session will be mostly coaching oriented and addresses a specific topic that should to be worked on, while the other will be to a sharing and implementation session where clients and coach will discuss results and applications of what they have learnt.
