When a family welcomes a new grandchild, they embark on a journey filled with surprises, some of which are simple and joyous, while others can be challenging and complex. The unique composition of each family and its history of interrelating will influence how this journey unfolds. We help strengthen family communication around issues that are important to both grandparents and parents, while respecting each individual's role in the family structure.
