In a traditional family setting, with two parents and their biological children, there are usually two sets of grandparents.  In the blended family, there are at least one or more additional sets of grandparents involved.  This can be difficult to navigate, especially if you don’t have cooperation from the grandparents. Becoming step grandparents may be a role that they weren’t prepared for, and maybe never even thought about.  Once placed in that situation, grandparents often have a hard time rising to the challenge.

 

In this episode, we will address the reasons why step grandparents struggle with their new role, and what you can do to help them along.  We will also talk about what grandparents should be doing, and what they may be doing wrong.

 

With time and patience, relationships between step grandparents and their step grandchildren can flourish. There is a special place in every blended family for grandparents.
