Greeting an Older person

Body Position: The younger person stands upright with a posture that conveys respect. This might involve a slight bow of the head or upper body while initiating the handshake.

Right Hand: Extends forward for a handshake with the elder. The handshake itself should be firm but gentle, avoiding a forceful grip.

Left Hand: This is the key aspect of the gesture. The younger person places their left hand on their own lower back, palm facing outwards, fingers pointing down or slightly curled. The hand placement can be on the lower spine or even on the hip area.
