Why Grandparents Are Great Listeners

Our grandchildren know that we can usually give them all the time and attention they want.

We need to speak what’s on our heart plainly and with conviction. Sometimes saying it makes all the difference to our adult kids.

That special relationship depends on some distance and puts grandparents in a key position to influence their grandkids.

From a practical standpoint, we provide some benefits because of our unique perspective on our grandchildren’s lives.

Being that extra person or two who provides love and encouragement for our grandkids seems like the very least we can do.
