This is an easy and much appreciated way for you to support More Than Grand! Growing as a GrandparentWhat is it like to be a grandfather today? Jeff Segal looks at it from through both a personal and professional lens in The Unexpected Gifts of Grandfatherhood. One grandfather has a simple way to keep in touch with his family, and it’s one they all appreciate. Read about it and see if it inspires you to do something similar. Connecting with Your GrandchildrenWant to send your grandchild a care package, but know their parents don't want more clutter? Rather than a box of treats and toys, these ideas for themed packages built around an experience delight parents as much as the children. When your grandchildren live too far away for you to be actively involved it their daily lives, you can feel a deep sense of grief. We shared advice for one grandmother on the blog. Helping ParentsSupporting parents can be even more important when there is a neurodivergent child involved. Read how grandparents can play a positive role for both parent and child in this Father’s Day reflection. Even when your child chooses a partner who isn’t from another race, country, or religious background, they will have to adapt to new ideas about customs, and values. Read Navigating Cultural Differences for insight and advice on how grandparents can better understand and navigate the cultural differences of our grown children’s families.
