Grandparents Can Be Important Sounding Boards

Be someone they can trust. Then, when they face something confusing or difficult, it’s likely they’ll think of asking for your perspective.

from Jay Payleitner: Identify a special place to talk and dream with your grandchildren—eye to eye, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart.

Teach your grandkids about your own interests and abilities, and make use of other opportunities that arise when you’re together.

We’re spending time with a grandchild, something out-of-the-ordinary happens, and we recognize it as a chance to share a bit of wisdom.
