Inside every major disruption of life lies a chance to move forward. I realize that some of you are having trouble exercising your Grandparents Rights for many reasons, not the least of which is staying socially isolated. I challenge you to find new ways to stay MEANINGFULLY in touch with each and all of your Grandchildren.
One really effective cure for loneliness is to actively reaching out to those we Love. Now is the time to invoke that wisdom of LISTENING to what is going on in those young minds. You don’t have to be a psychologist to impart some calm and common sense into their world. They deserve it, but you also deserve it.
Thank You for being a Caring Grandparent.
