How to Become an Intentional, Invested, and Inviting Grandparent

As grandparents, how do we Go BIG? In today’s episode, we explore the letter I.

I for Intentional. I for Invested. And I for Inviting.

My maternal grandmother and I were close. Every Sunday afternoon, my family visited both sets of grandparents. Every. Single. Sunday.

But Sunday afternoon visits were not what spurred our closeness. They were mandatory events. Time in quantity, but not quality.

Our Sunday afternoon visits were intentional. We had to go. But those visits didn’t foster relationship. Relationship happened at my grandmother’s kitchen table over games of Wahoo! and whatever dessert she had baked that week.

Let’s explore how we can be intentional in the right way.
