Episode #15 Ideas & Links
Val, Ian, their 4 sons & spouses
Sharing our stories…
Val and her husband Ian make an effort to share stories from their childhood, and their life experiences with their grandchildren. They do this to help their grandkids remember they are a safe place and that they relate to the ups & downs of life. Check out these links to some businesses that help you to turn your stories into keepsakes for your family.
Precious time with the grandkids
Ideas that foster connection from Episode #15
Use birthdays as an opportunity to take each grandchild out for a “one on one” date.
Offer to babysit to get that one on one time.
Take advantage of bedtime to share stories, read a story or as Val shared sing songs.
Be a safe place for your grandchildren by being someone who does the work to grow, heal and change. This might take the form of counseling, learning new things or finding community that encourages you spiritually.
Listen!! Perhaps one of the greatest gift we can give is a present, listening ear.
