When Grandchildren Disappoint

There is no muting or unfollowing people you don’t agree with when you are sitting across the table from them. But how can you live out grace towards your families in real time when polarizing topics are part of everyday conversation?

By the time you become a grandparent, you’ve spent decades investing in your own life—discovering and developing into the person God created you to be, doing what He made you to do. Now, as a grandparent, you can come alongside your children to support their efforts to do the same for their kids.

Dr. Joannie DeBrito shares ways you can help your grandchildren confront difficult circumstances with courage so they learn and grow.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sep 15-Oct 15), this post explores what it means to be an abuelo (grandfather) or abuela (grandmother). We will get a glimpse into the heart of Latino grandparents.
