  1. Navigating Long-Distance Relationships with Grandchildren Wendy Green 33:31

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.
