Caring Across Generations: Grandparents ...

DR. MONA AMIN
About this episode

A new baby creates new roles…parent, of course, but also grandparent. A happy family dynamic starts with proactive discussions before baby is even born about the roles both parent and grandparent will have and everyone’s expectations. This week, I welcome Dee Dee Moore, a grandparenting expert, to discuss how to foster healthy relationships and promote open communication between new parents and their parents.


She joins me to discuss: 

  • The need for effective communication between grandparents and parents
  • How discussing roles and expectations early on is important for a positive relationship
  • The pressures modern parents face from abundant information and social media
