As grandparents, it is our job to love and support our grandchildren and children through their struggles, but to refrain from solving their problems for them. (No matter how much we are tempted.).

Grandparenting is all about contributing to the evolution of relationships.

Okay, before any assumptions are made, we know not everyone has this capacity for home grown; however, if you do, we’ve got all the reasons you need to get started* If a simple window sill is involved… so be it!
