THE GRANDPARENTS

The Benefits of Being an Involved Grandparent

Grandparenting today is about so much more than babysitting here and there, or showing up at dance recitals and baseball games—it’s about creating bonds and memories that last a lifetime. Studies show that when grandparents are actively involved, both generations reap the rewards. From emotional support for grandkids to reduced isolation for grandparents, the benefits are wide-ranging and deeply meaningful. And whether you live close by or stay connected from afar, there are countless ways to make the relationship stronger.
