The Grandparent-Grandchild Connection Workshops
BOOK NOW!
Module 1: Intergenerational Sharing Fun
Music! Headlines! Technology! Grandparents and grandchildren can pull out their smart phones (or use school provided Chromebooks) to give each other a taste of the music, headlines and technology that define their generation.
Module 2: The Secret to Entering your Grandchild’s World
At the end of this session, grandparents will know what their grandchildren are studying in school, how to use the school website, all about extracurricular activities, clubs, typical social and emotional developmental stages and more.
Module 3: The Power of Stories to Connect
This interactive workshop uses storytelling to connect grandparents and grandchildren. Stories can inspire bonding around “shared” first experiences—a first day of school, a first crush–and shed light on each other’s day to day lives.
Module 4: How to Create a Culture of Sharing
Learn how to create a culture of respect and sharing in the family and how to translate values into activities that families can enjoy together.
BOOK NOW!
Modules 1, 3 and 4 are for grandparents and grandchildren to enjoy together. Module 2 is for grandparents only. Parents welcome. Sessions also can be Livestreamed.
