Grandparents, we appreciate you. In a child’s life, grandparents hold a special role. In some families, grandparents serve as primary caregivers. Others pitch in with school pick-ups. And others may live on the other side of the country, but still engage in a huge way via virtual communication. Whatever your role may be, as a grandparent you are making an impact on your grandkids lives. You can enhance their education, grow their minds, and help instill a love for learning. Here’s our gift to you in the form of some top resources to help you as you navigate the journey.
We’ve included a smattering of resources from building blocks, like how to begin interacting with your grandchild’s education, to unpacking hot-button topics in schools today, like gender identity, to the toughest topics like recognizing abuse.
