About this episode

DeeDee Moore discusses how to navigate the challenges and joys of grandparenting to strengthen family relationships.

A popular T-shirt claims "If I had known having grandchildren was this fun, I would have had them first!" But as anyone on the other side knows, becoming a grandparent can come with a variety of stresses and unexpected transitions too. DeeDee Moore from More Than Grand joins Lisa for a conversation all about how to prepare (and when needed, repair) critical relationships so that grandparents and their loved ones can make the most out of that special bond. DeeDee's insights include important conversations to have, what new grandparents wish they had known sooner, important pitfalls to avoid, and how to tactfully navigate the unique strengths and challenges which make today's parents the most educated (and sometimes, the most anxious) generation of parents to date.
