Strained relationships with our adult children can impact our relationship with our grandchildren. It’s a sad reality for many grandparents. So how can we build a relationship with our grandchildren when their parents don’t encourage or support our connection?
We asked our expert with over 30 years of family counseling experience to give us some advice. Dr. Joni Debrido says, if there’s a barrier between you and your grandchildren, pursue relationship. Seek to reconcile with your adult children and pray God would soften their hearts towards you. As you ask God to help, be willing to listen and make changes that lead to healing for all of you. And above all, never give up.
