Grandparents' Day - Kerry Byrne & Ted Page
Season 8 Episode 364
September 7th is Grandparents’ Day!
Celebrate the grandparents in your life or reflect on your own grandparenting journey.
This is a special Retirement Roundtable episode, where we invite previous guests to engage in a conversation with each other. Returning are Ted Page, author of the new book Good Grandpa: Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood, and Kerry Byrne, founder of The Long Distance Grandparent. They’re bringing different perspectives on, and experiences with, one of retirement’s most complex yet rewarding roles: modern grandparenting. This isn’t the hands-off grandparenting of yesteryear. Today’s grandparents face unique challenges. They must actively build connections, learn, leverage, and adapt to emerging technologies; and navigate changing family roles and dynamics, walking the delicate line between sharing wisdom and overstepping boundaries.
We Discuss:
- How grandparenting has evolved
- Why modern grandparenting requires more intentionality
- How humor and fun create trust and lasting bonds
- How to navigate different parenting philosophies with adult childrenLeveraging technology while staying mindful of balance
- The powerful impact of sharing family stories and traditions
- Ways to create meaningful experiences across generations
Kerry Byrne joins us from Toronto, and Ted Page joins us from Vermont.
