When interaction between the generations is interrupted â and there doesnât even have to be a pandemic; sometimes we just forget to call each other â it is easy for misunderstandings to flourish. Negative perceptions can build to such a pitch that, even if you had your grandchildren standing right in front of you, you possibly wouldnât want to tackle them head-on. Or perhaps your perceptions arenât negative â there are just pockets of puzzlement.
Four zoomers â Patrick Baggaley, Freya Scott-Turner, Rachel Ayo Ogunleye and Aidan Nylander, all born in 2000 â are here to clear up everything. Baggaley is a chef based in London; Scott-Turner is studying journalism and living in Cambridge; Ayo Ogunleye is studying medicine and based in Beckenham, south London; and Nylander is between two degrees and lives in Newcastle.
