Grandparenting Help Guide

More and more grandparents are taking a bigger role in their grandkids’ lives. Maybe you’re shouldering some of the childcare responsibilities while both parents are working or to give a single mom or dad some relief. Maybe you’ve stepped in as the primary caretaker because the parents are unavailable or unable to care for their children. Or perhaps you simply want to strengthen the grandparent-grandchild connection so you can make the most of your time together. Whatever your situation, there are practical and emotional issues to consider as you build your relationship with your grandkids.
