Talking to Dad About His Health
ABCNews has a great article about techniques for approaching fathers about improving their health. It acknowledges that older men often don't take care of their own health well enough but offers ways to approach the issue effectively, without talking down to him. I especially liked the suggestions to work out with your father or bring the grandchildren for a visit and a walk every week - having more involvement with fathers/grandfathers is a great boost to emotional health, as well as encouraging physical activity.
