Deliberate, intentional grandparenting:
how to make a difference
BY LINDA AND RICHARD EYRE
O
K, the question is, are you ready to become
intentional and deliberate about your grandparenting?
Are you committed enough to
actually have a plan for what and how you want to
teach your grandkids? Are you ready to, step-bystep,
become the kind of grandparent that makes a
difference-that improves the world for your grandchildren
(and creates real teamwork with your children
to form an effective Three-generation family)?
More and more grandparents are saying yes to
these questions, and they are putting their effort and
priorities where their mouth is!
When we started the Zoom and online course
Grandparenting101.com last year, over a thousand
grandparents joined and will be participating in the
class's final module this month, and it is a rigorous
course with a two-hour seminar each month and
weekly emailed bulletins. Take a look at the following
curriculum.
Module A: The Higher Perspective, Priority, and
Paradigm of More Effective Grandparenting.
The first step in becoming better grandparents
is not about changing our grandkids, but about
changing ourselves. Many of us will be grandparents

Module B: Grandparenting Goals
and Roles (by age).
Being a good and effective grandparent of
babies and toddlers is very different from being
good with elementary age. And teens are something
else again. Homework includes a " needs
analysis " of each grandchild and holding a " fivefacet
review " of each grandchild with our children
and the parents. And we spend some time on the
separate and individual perspectives of grandmas
vs. grandpas-how the two roles differ and how
they can work in synergy.
Continued on next page
for 40 years, and in Module A, we examine our priorities,
our roles, the new opportunities and relationship
changes that come in the " autumn " of our lives,
and the tricky business of being effective grandparents
without stepping on the toes of our children
the parents. For " homework " we explore and write
personal Grandparenting Vision Statements. Also in
this first module, we discuss long-distance grandparenting
(when grandkids live far away) along with the
importance of setting boundaries and finding a balance
between taking care of yourself and taking care
of your family.
