| Grandparenting
is no longer
the traditional relationship it once was. Today, there are
grandparents who see their grandchildren regularly, those
who grandparent from a distance, grandparents raising their
grandchildren with little or no support from the natural
parent, and grandparents who have limited or no access to
their grandchildren. Here, we hope to bring to you the
resources, information and assistance to help all children
maintain their relationship with their grandparents. For
grandparents raising their children’s children, we hope to
assist with accessing information to meet your
grandchildren’s educational, social and emotional needs. |

Grandparenting Today -
Grandparenting is a very different role than parenting, and
