For many adults, the arrival of their first grandchild is a long-awaited blessing from God that ushers in a new, wonderful stage of life: grandparenthood.
But there are also challenges that come with this stage of life. You might be wondering how to win the hearts of your grandkids, how to share your faith with them, and even whether you have anything valuable to offer the youngest generation at all.
As a grandmother of four and a professional counsellor with Focus on the Family Canada, Bonnie Dyste has heard from plenty of grandparents across Canada. These grandparents have one question in common: How do I grandparent well?
In this free, six-part video series, Bonnie will encourage you in your important role and give a counsellor’s perspective on how to form deep connections with your grandkids. Bonnie will also address some of the difficulties that grandparents might face, such as disagreeing with their adult child’s parenting choices, finding time to recharge, and grappling with disappointments.
Wherever you are on the path of grandparenthood, Bonnie’s insights will reframe the way you see your role as a grandparent and encourage you to bless your family in this stage of life.
