Connecting hearts,
Uniting generations

Grandparents: you have never been more vital to your grandchildren — for your wisdom, your presence, your encouragement, your love.

The learning process (even at our age) is a wonderful opportunity to share life and make meaningful contributions to our grandchildren.

Active listening can strengthen your relationships with your grandchildren, and help them grow and mature.

If we want to engage our grandkids in areas that matter to them, their education is a great way to plug in—and we have several great options.

Storytelling brings us unique opportunities to influence and connect with our grandkids–it gives them a sense of belonging and connection.

Recent events might have us asking, What’s this world coming to? But we can play a positive role in building up and preparing our grandkids.

Jay Payleitner: Be grateful for all the positive role models in your grandkids’ lives, especially other grandparents.

Pull your grandchild away from screens and enjoy a time-tested summer activity together. Maybe you’ll also teach a skill or expand a horizon.

NANA’S HOUSE by Teresa Kindred: Take a stroll down memory lane and invite your grandkids to join you. It’s something I try to do regularly.

This summer, we can find simple ways to have fun with our grandkids, strengthen bonds, and maybe even encourage creativity and learning.
