According to the U.S. Census Bureau, since last year, 19.9 million adults have moved back in with their parents, an increase of 2.1 million compared to five years ago.

"This is a real opportunity," says Cavin Harper, founder and president of CGN. "For the first time in decades, a growing number of households have multiple generations living under one roof. The Legacy Journal is one way to help families understand each other."

In its early stages, The Legacy Journal was a simple sheet of paper that children and their grandparents would complete together at CGN-sponsored Grandcamps - traditional summer camps that grandchildren and grandparents attend together. Harper remarks, "I saw the amazing effect that this little piece of paper had on relationships between generations, children laughing at the stories of grandpa's courtship of grandma, listening eagerly to the history of family traditions, working earnestly with their grandparents to describe their family. I realized then that this wasn't just an activity to fill a rainy afternoon at camp--it was a tool that could be properly developed and expanded to create heirloom-quality keepsakes that will be permanent supports to an intergenerational family bond."
