Dr. Ken Canfield believes we are on the brink of a grandparenting revolution! On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Dr. Canfield unpack lessons from his book, The Heart of Grandparenting, including the opportunity that grandparents have to leave a lasting and impressionable legacy. He advises grandparents to communicate their own Christian heritage to their grandchildren, which helps in forming their developing identities, and building resiliency. Dr. Canfield also emphasizes the importance of being a godly example, because the best lessons are caught rather than taught.
