grandparenting If we choose #4, we are going to need some help. Because let’s face it, this is new to us, and it’s easy to be ineffective or even counterproductive—or to offend our kids (the parents) by trying to “take over.” We have begun to develop a Zoom Seminar that will bring together the best resources, the best ideas, and the best practices of involved committed grand- parents across the world. In this multi-part, interactive seminar, grandparents will learn: • “What’s Next?” Why your grandkids should be a major priority in the Autumn of life • The art and power of Grandparenting: What you can do that parents can’t • Building trusting, confidence-giving relationships
with grandchildren • ease the angst and learn the pleasure • your adult children • that empowers rather than entitles • it with your new role of consultant • life (the remarkable gifts of age) •
As a GRAND reader, we invite you to be a part of this movement and to participate in this seminar in its beginning or beta phase. We are calling it Grandparenting 101 because it pre- sents the most important and basic aspects of being a relevant and proactive grandparent. But it also goes beyond the basics and will make you one of the most competent and effective grandpas or grandmas on the planet! So join us! Simply send your name and email address to EyresGrandparenting101@gmail.com and we will send you the various options for involvement and participation. And for additional support and ideas, please subscribe and follow our podcast Eyres on the Road (get it on any podcast app) and on our Instagram @RichardLindaEyre.
