Being a grandparent today isn’t about fitting into an old mould but finding your own rhythm.  Between love and limits, care and independence…there’s space for a new kind of grand-parenting to emerge.

In this episode of The Ageing Ideal, Jacinta Parsons speaks with grandparents Chris and Janice who talk about how they make it work as the live as one of four generations in their home. 

Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg is one of Australia’s most trusted psychologists and author of the book Grandparents and joins Jacinta to reflect on how grand parenting today is vastly different to previous generations of grandparents. 

Jacinta also speaks with Ann McLeish who is the Director of Grandparents Victoria to discuss what rights grandparents hold, how they can communicate those boundaries with some grace and some confidence.
