Get our proven method and become a valued part of your grandchild’s life.

 The Real Reason Some Grandparents Have More Fun

Think of ANY grandparent you know who seems to always be doing something fun with their grandkids. Chances are, you look at them and hope that you’ll do the same with your grandchild someday: the sleepovers, the weekly family dinners, the silly photos they share on social media.

But have you ever thought about what they do behind the scenes that make those moments possible?

Those grandparents don’t end up being their grandchild’s best friend through luck. And it’s not because they shower them with gifts, either.

So what’s their secret?

The grandparents who become an involved, valued part of their grandchild’s life are the ones who do these two things:

They are intentional about their role as a grandparent

and

They make their relationship with their grandchild’s parents a priority.

 If you’re like most new grandparents I meet,
you think that being a grandparent is something you’ll be a natural at.
It’s intuitive, right?

Well, no.

Loving our grandchildren IS intuitive. But building a relationship with them is like any other relationship: you have to put in the work for it to succeed.

If it were truly intuitive, there wouldn’t be so many parents writing to the advice columns asking for help when the grandparents don’t listen.

There wouldn’t be so many grandparents wondering why their requests for visits keep getting ignored. 

There wouldn’t be so many families that end up estranged over something that started out as a small annoyance and became a wound too deep to heal.

Grandparents are making mistakes because so much of our cultural conversation about being a grandparent focuses on the wrong things, like spoiling them and ignoring parent’s rules.

The BIGGEST mistake new grandparents make is not doing anything to prepare for their new role.

And the worst part? They don’t even realize the negative impact this will have on their relationship with their grandchild down the line.

But now you know, and we can help you prepare and avoid the mistakes.

Show us one involved grandparent who doesn’t have a great relationship with their grandchild’s parents.

That’s because they know what you may not have realized until right now.

You can’t be a valued part of your grandchild’s life unless you focus on creating a supportive relationship with their parents.

And to be a supportive partner to parents, you need to be a prepared grandparent.

If you already know you want to support parents, then you already have what it takes to be an amazing grandparent.

And just as we’ve helped other grandparents who want to do all they can, we’re ready to help you.
