We can’t choose whether we want to be a grandparent or not. But we can choose to be the kind of grandparent we want to be. 

Some of us are on call 24/7 while others may see their grandchildren once a week or occasionally. We often happily serve as babysitters, chauffeurs, cooks and provider of special treats. We contribute to the children’s well-being and development in many ways while supporting their working parents.  Sometimes there are issues that need to be addressed: do parents expect too much of grandparents? What if parents disagree with grandparents’ way of taking care of the children? What if grandparents feel that young children should play and not have to attend so many classes?  

Grandparents also have a life of their own and should not feel obligated or be expected to be responsible for the grandchildren at all times.  Much as we enjoy our grandchildren and helping out our grown up children, we need to make time for ourselves - to exercise, have fun with our friends and pursue our own interests.

This session celebrates grand-parenting and is targeted at both grandparents and parents.
