Staying connected with our grandchildren isn’t always easy—especially when miles separate us. As grandparents, we want to be involved in their lives, share our Wisdom, and build cherished memories. But as they grow up, get busy, and focus on their own worlds, staying in touch can feel like an uphill battle.
In this episode of Boomer Banter, we dive into the realities of long-distance grandparenting. I share personal stories, insights from listeners, and strategies to help bridge the gap, no matter the distance. We explore:
✅ How grandparenting has evolved over the generations
✅ The role parents play as “gatekeepers” to our grandkids
✅ Practical ways to maintain strong bonds at different ages—from toddlers to teens to young adults
✅ How to reset expectations to avoid frustration and strengthen relationships
Whether you’re looking for fresh ideas to stay engaged or simply reassurance that you’re not alone in this struggle, this conversation is for you. Staying connected may take effort but love always finds a way.
Hey, Boomer! goes beyond the surface, exploring the complexities of family relationships, maintaining health, navigating caregiving, coping with divorce or widowhood, financial concerns, housing and technology. It's the podcast that acknowledges the challenges and opportunities that come with aging, with a compassionate and realistic approach.
