DeeDee More from More Than Grand joins me this week to talk about the challenges facing parents and what grandparents can do to be a resource to young parents. We delve into the critical topic of parental well-being, highlighting the mental health challenges parents face today, particularly in light of recent advisories from the Surgeon General.
Our discussion covers the impact of social media, financial pressures, and the role of grandparents in supporting parents. It emphasizes the importance of trusting parental instincts, advocating for better policies, and breaking the stigma of mental health. As we wrap up the conversation, DeeDee also touches on the unique stresses of the holiday season and introduces resources for new grandparents.
Once you have listened to this conversation, please share it with other grandparents so we can all become more educated about some of the challenges our adult children experience as young parents.
