The Crucial Role of Relevant Grandparenting

We recognize that it takes a village to raise a child. Grandparents have never had a more crucial role than they do today in setting a strong example, and being a role model for their grandchildren.  After all, children get tired of hearing the same messages from their parents, so independent reinforcement from other respected role models becomes especially important in shaping their children.
