Parenting

Parenting a grandchild is complicated for many reasons. A grandparent might be replacing the parent in the child's life, they may be co-parenting with their adult child, or they could be protecting grandchildren when they come out of foster care. Becoming a parent again, when it was not your choice, is a role that not many individuals are willing assume. This section of the website will help prepare and guide you through the oftentimes difficult process of raising a grandchild. How do you explain to your grandchildren why you are acting in place of their parents? How do you help your grandchild overcome feelings of abandonment? These topics and more are covered in this section of the website.
