How Families Can Benefit From Grandparent Courses
-
The knowledge and wisdom grandparents have gained from raising their children is vast and we want to guide you on to how best to use that wisdom to support new parents in the way they need most.​​
-
We've seen just how much love and willingness there is to help but also how the landscape of support has changed. Being a parent is not an interchangeable role with a grandparent and not all support is equal. Sometimes, good intentions need a little guidance.

We'll help to identify ways to avoid the tension and pitfalls, build healthy boundaries and forge strong intergenerational bonds​​

Learning that nurtures connection across generations
​Becoming a grandparent is a meaningful transition and like all relationships, it evolves over time. These courses are designed to help bridge generational knowledge gaps, update understanding around modern parenting and child development and support stronger, more connected family relationships.
Grandparenting is its own unique role
Grandparenting offers the opportunity to nurture, guide and connect in ways that are different from parenting. As family dynamics evolve, many grandparents find themselves navigating a new role with fresh perspectives, changing expectations and new opportunities for connection. This transition, that we call grandescence, can be a rich and meaningful stage of life.
Parenting knowledge continues to evolve
Over the past few decades, research around pregnancy, birth, child development and parenting has grown significantly. Many families today are making choices informed by updated information, changing lifestyles and new understandings of children’s emotional and physical needs. These courses help bridge the gap between generations, creating shared understanding and supportive conversations grounded in both wisdom and current knowledge.
Strong relationships with understanding
Family relationships thrive when people feel heard, respected and supported. As each generation brings different experiences, values and expectations, communication and understanding become increasingly important. These courses support grandparents in building close, trusting relationships with both parents and grandchildren through openness, curiosity and connection.
We offer online courses, in person workshops and virtual support.

“I found the course really informative and educational, very straightforward and friendly. There were a lot of resources in there that I could relate to…There were a lot of things in there that I wasn’t aware of …and it helped me to realise that there are a lot of new ways of doing things.I would recommend the course to all grandparents”"
