Host(s): Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram NanneyGuest(s): Dr. Courtney WalkerTopic: For many families, grandparents are an incredible source of support. They're picking children up from school, helping with homework, making dinner, spending the night when parents have to work—and sometimes, they're doing much more. Some grandparents are providing childcare several days a week. Others have their grandchildren living with them and have essentially stepped back into the role of parent. So today guest host Dr. Courtney Walker is talking about what happens when being a grandparent also means being a caregiver. We'll talk about why grandparents have become such an important part of the childcare system, the joys and challenges of that role, setting boundaries with adult children, differences in parenting styles, burnout—and perhaps most importantly, what children actually need from their grandparentsYou can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org.
