We’ve all been aware that one of the most vulnerable groups during this pandemic is the elderly. While they have been advised to stay at home for their own safety, this has meant social isolation for many. Grandparents can play such an important role in children’s lives, but right now, we have to find the best ways of staying in touch and keeping them safe.We can also enlist their support to help children navigate what is happening in the world, and enrich their grandchildren’s lives in so many ways.Parenting and family psychology expert, and founder of the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program, Professor Matt Sanders, is back to talk with us today about watching out for grandparents – helping them stay healthy, happy and connected with family and friends.Professor Matt Sanders is ready to answer your questions on the Parenting in a Pandemic podcast.
