Did you know that every upset with your grandchild holds a potential gift for both of you? In this four-session workshop,
you will see the power of self-awareness and self-monitoring as essential grandparenting skills. To get the most
out of this series, plan to attend all four sessions.

You’ll gain a new understanding of how to:
• Respond rather than react to emotional upsets
• Accept your feelings as valid – even anger, guilt, and regret

• Learn a different way to manage challenging and unpleasant feelings
• Feel great about who you are as a grandparent
• Embody a new level of confidence and joy in parenting your grandchild
