Our Maturity Leads to Blessing and Love

It isn’t just a polite way of saying we’re old. We have positive characteristics like wisdom and experience that benefit our grandchildren.

When our grandkids’ interests are foreign to us, that’s an opportunity to show them we’re interested in them and how much we love them.

Grandparents should be proactive and engaged, but also respect the parents’ boundaries and their family time that doesn’t include us.

For many, grandparenting brings a sense of satisfaction that can be as rich as anything else in life. Soak in and savor every moment.

Just as our grandkids are always changing, we all need to adapt and find new ways to invest in them and their future.
