The relational dynamics in the world of grandparenting can create a lot of sticky situations that can wreak havoc and steal joy.
Grandparenthood plays a key role in the future generation but it also brings some big challenges. Sometimes the problem is the grandparent- what they are doing or are not doing that creates tension?
What if your parents are jamming Jesus and politics down your kid's throat in a disconnected way?
What do we do if the grandparents are spoiling our kids?
What if the grandparents are always intervening or not respecting our boundaries? All families have sticky situations. There are unrealistic expectations, personal agendas, and deep heartache.
Fortunately, the God who came up with grandparenthood also provides the ways and means to navigate its challenges.
God’s active grace wants to come to your rescue.
