Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

This week the Government’s new Minister for Loneliness supported the idea of families taking grandparents on holiday with them. But do multi-generational holidays work? Soo Kim is a travel reporter for the Daily Telegraph and says that there has been a rise in the number of families going on holiday with their parents or grandparents. She has taken her own mother on holiday and plans to do so again. Irma Kurtz, a grandmother herself, used to be the Agony Aunt of Cosmopolitan magazine and has an in-depth understanding of family dynamics. They join Jenni to discuss the issue.
