The creativity and energy exhibited among the grandparents and great-grandparents — and even great-great-grandparents — I know inspires me.
Everything from unique travel experiences to annual cousins camp in the backyard to sharing in school car line duty, grandparents are as involved in their grandchildren’s lives as they ever were.
Some are even raising their grandchildren or co-parenting in some form.
Others are embracing the new intentional grandparenting concept and building in daily, weekly or monthly moments to invest in their grandchildren’s spiritual development.
A variety of online resources are available to help as you look to be more involved with your grands, even if your health limits your interactions or you live a long distance away.
Options to consider are the National Association of Grandparenting at grandkidsmatter.org, Legacy Coalition at legacycoalition.com and the Christian Grandparenting Network at christiangrandparenting.com.
The new Kids Edition of The Baptist Paper is another resource grandparents might consider. Learn more at thebaptistpaper.org/kids-edition.
