Group Workshops Grandparents Parents Nannies  • Secrets of Stress-Free Grandparenting  • Bridge the GAP: Grandparents and Parents Grandchildren change the dynamic of even the closest bonds.  They introduce new challenges, joys, and issues.  Through discussion, laughter, and group interaction we will learn to improve our relationships with our adult children while enriching our experiences as grandparents.  We will learn skills for resolving conflicts and gaining better understanding of our children so that negative patterns aren’t passed on to the newest members of our family.  Happy parents and grandparents make happy children.  Using practical, easy-to-implement strategies which work with adults and children of all ages, we will learn to develop and nurture loving, enjoyable, and fulfilling relationships which bridge the gap between generations. We will address such topics as: Communication strategies Avoiding competition with the “other” grandparents Giving appropriate advice Cultivating respect and trust Handling distance issues Lessening tension around holidays and visits Sidestepping struggles over faith issues Breaking deadlocks Helping blended and newly-forming families Deepening and enriching relationships June Conley will offer this practical and entertaining course for grandparents.  The Becoming a Love and Logic Parent® program was developed by Jim Fay, Charles Fay, Ph.D., and Foster W.
