Many grandparents today live in another city, another state, or even another country.
They often feel sad that they are “missing” their grandchildren’s childhood.
What do we advise such families?
Distance may impact proximity. It need not impact the relationships.
_Love doesn’t always need the same address._
When miles separate… hearts can still stay close
How can grandparents stay connected with grandchildren even when they stay away?
Can Grandparenting happen across cities?
– “My grandchildren live abroad.”
– “They hardly know me.”
– “We only meet once a year.”
_Many grandparents quietly carry this doubts._
But perhaps we need to ask a different question.
Is grandparenting about living together… or about staying connected?
Children remember people who consistently make them feel loved.
_Not only people who live nearby._
Distance only changes how one grandparents. It doesn’t change whether one is a grandparent.
What are the possible strategies that can help?
Summary- Love travels remarkably well across distances
Distances will not stand in between two hearts that want to connect
