Step-Grandparenting
Show Notes
About the Guest
-
Many people are becoming step-grandparents either because they got married later in life or because a son or daughter is now a stepparent. They are asking what is expected? Be a catalyst for inclusion. Have an open spirit toward both the new people and the old ones--like toward a new son or daughter in law and their children and your biological grandchildren. A great way to love your grandchildren is to love your step-grandchildren. Love for all. Isn’t that what grandparents are for?
