The Involved Grandparent
Grandparents have a role in the lives of their grandchildren, but what exactly is that role? Let your adult children take the lead and discuss your expectations with them.
Becoming a grandparent changes everything. Coupled with incomparable joy is uncertainty about where you fit in. Your role — not always appreciated by society — is vitally important in shaping a grandchild’s life. At the end of the day, you and the parents want what’s best for the child.

And, what you may really need is a handbook for diplomacy!

How often is there a social media challenge for grandparents? Well, here it is!
We are challenging grandparents to redefine who today’s grandparents are. Who are you? Are you an exercise fanatic? Can you spin just as fast as your adult kids? Are you the best baker around? Do you tell the funniest jokes? Do you volunteer and want us all to know about it? Are you an artist, a musician, a yoga teacher? Do you have a job? What are you? We are a nation of GRAND grandparents, and you are one of them. Join us. Let’s see what grandparents are up to in 2019. Make a video (no longer than 59 sec), and please post it on Facebook or Instagram, using the hashtag: #grandparentslink2019
