5 Ways Grandparents Can Encourage Their Children in Their Role as Parents

There is no manual for parenting! All of us just one day become Mom and Dad. We suddenly have to figure out how to care for and shepherd a human body, mind, and soul! It's heavy and difficult work. Physically, babies and toddlers drain their parents' energy and ability to sleep. Then as our children age, they exhaust us with worry and endless activity! Parenting is hard and holy work.

While there is no manual, we can gain important encouragement and wisdom from those ahead of us on this parenting journey. That is where grandparents can be such a support to their adult children that are now parents. Grandparents have the gift of hindsight that allows them to give valuable advice to their children. Parenting can be such an intense experience it can be hard to see the big picture. We can get fixated on tiny details and lose sight of the goal of parenthood, which is to raise up people who love the Lord with all their hearts and love others as themselves.
