Today, Mark Gregston, Wayne Shepherd and Courtney Lafleur discuss the irreplaceable role grandparents play in the lives of their teenage grandchildren. Mark reminds grandparents that staying connected requires intentional effort and flexibility as grandchildren grow and the relationship changes — but their need for loving, steady grandparents is greater than ever. By listening more, meeting teens where they are and offering unconditional love rather than constant advice, grandparents can remain a place of rest and wisdom. Your presence and genuine interest can leave a lasting legacy that shapes your grandchildren long after the teen years pass.

If your family is struggling, we encourage you to join Mark in Texas at one of his Families in Crisis Conferences. Learn more at parentingtodaysteens.org/families-in-crisis-conference
