Real-Life Grandparenting: A Grandparenting Coach in Your Pocket

Personalized, in-the-moment guidance from DeeDee Moore for the family moments that matter most.

What makes the app special.

Grandparenting advice for your family, not families in general

Real-Life Grandparenting is a coaching app built on everything DeeDee Moore has learned since founding More Than Grand in 2019. It uses AI to turn her advice into short lessons, conversation scripts and reflection prompts tailored to your family, your schedule and your goals.

And when something comes up, like a tense conversation with your adult child or a first visit with the new baby, you can ask for help right then. No generic tips, just guidance that fits your real situation.

Who the app is for

  • Grandparents-to-be who want to start this new role on the right foot

  • New grandparents figuring out first visits, boundaries and today's parenting norms

  • Long-distance grandparents looking for real ways to stay close

  • Experienced grandparents facing a tricky moment with an adult child or in-law

 What's inside the app.

Built by DeeDee Moore, founder of More Than Grand

DeeDee started More Than Grand in 2019 after noticing something surprising: new parents have shelves of books and endless resources, but the grandparents in their lives have almost nothing. Since then, she's heard from thousands of grandparents and been featured in Today, PureWow, Babylist and Scary Mommy.

She built Real-Life Grandparenting to be the practical, in-the-moment coaching she wished existed. It's designed to help small missteps get handled before they turn into lasting distance, so you can step into this role with confidence and joy.
