Raising children all over again can be hard work.
But it has its moments, too.
For Grandparents raising grandchildren who need support with resources, legal issues and offer tips on the challenges of raising grandchildren. A trained facilitator provides guidance and education. Many grandparents today are raising their grandchildren. That can bring a whole new set of challenges and questions, such as legal issues, discipline, and money. And a large age gap. The good news is that many grandparents have faced these challenges and are ready to give you their support. Second Time Around, a grandparents support group offered by Family Health Care, has a trained facilitator to help you explore this new time in your life.
This support group can help you:
- Refresh your parenting skills
- Build a new relationship with your grandchildren
- Learn what’s “in”
- Learn how to work with your grandchild’s school
- Discover community resources
- Explore tips for managing money
- Find out how to navigate the legal issues
