Understanding Grandparents:
Building Bridges and Setting Boundaries

Get the clarity and confidence you need to build the supportive grandparent relationships you deserve.

 What Parents Are Saying

“I honestly couldn't believe after reading the outline that something like this is being created.  It is exactly what I was looking for to help take action on the state of my and my parents' relationship.  I wish I had it a month ago.  I wish I had it 5 years ago.”

 What Makes “Understanding Grandparents” Different

Most families hit their first grandparent conflict within months of baby's arrival. The key isn't "managing difficult people" - it's knowing when behavior actually crosses the line versus just being different.

You'll Learn:

✅ How to identify when grandparent behavior actually crosses the line

✅ Permission to trust your instincts while being reasonable

✅ The real insights behind grandparent behavior

✅ Essential conversations to have with your partner BEFORE talking to grandparents

✅ Word-for-word scripts for different types of problems

✅ How to manage your own emotions and guilt

✅ When boundaries come first vs. when understanding helps most

 

The Problem No One Sees Coming

The role of grandparent has looked the same for centuries: a source of advice and support for new parents.

The internet has changed that.

You can get up-to-date advice in seconds online, and you don’t need a grandparent’s input on raising your children.

This creates a massive disconnect.

Grandparents feel irrelevant and unappreciated. You feel unsupported and judged. Everyone has good intentions, but no one understands why simple conversations turn into emotional battles.

The result?

Stress, resentment, and family relationships that add pressure instead of providing support.

P.S. A Personal Note

I’m introducing this resource because I've seen too many families struggle with grandparent relationships that should be sources of joy and support. You shouldn't have to choose between having boundaries and having close family relationships. Knowing when to build bridges and when to set boundaries changes everything.

Thank you for investing in your family relationships.
