Relationship Coaching

For Grandparents

DO YOU WISH TO CULTIVATE DEEPER AND MORE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS WITH YOUR GRANDCHILDREN?

At Heart Wise Relationship Coaching we recognize the positive impact grandparents have on the health and well-being of all family members. Research has shown that emotionally close relationship with grandparents and grandkids is associated with less mental health challenges such as depression for both grandkids and grandparents. Grandparents become partners with their grandchildren in imaginative play and in any fun activities that their grandchildren become involved in. “Play with me” is always a welcomed phrase to grandparents because it is through play that we first begin to foster emotional connection with our grandkids.

During the pandemic and post pandemic periods my partner and I have become grandparents to three lovely grandchildren. They are baby humans, and we honor their pure essence. Our grandkids are simply loved for who they are and “become adults who forever carry the imprint of inner connection and, consequently emotional sturdiness.” (Dr.Shefal Tsabury). Our grandkids are the lucky recipients of our understanding, warmth, unconditional love, and acceptance that are bestowed upon them. In return our “grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends — and hardly ever our own grown children." –Ruth Good

At Heart Wise Relationship coaching we understand that if grandparents continue to cross their adult children’s boundaries conflicts will occur and in serious cases grandparents are cut off from seeing their grandchildren. Some of the conflicts involve finances, voicing disapproval of a child’s spouse, job, or lifestyle. Every family has their own unique circumstances and we at Heart Wise value and respect the individual situations of all clients.

In most cases, our grown children love the connection grandparents have with their children, but they want the independence to parent their children as they please and make their own parenting mistakes with minimal directives on raising children from their parents. As a conscious relationship coach, we can become your supportive partner as you explore conflict issues between you and your adult children and their partners. In doing the self-discovery work it is our hope that you find equanimity so as grandparents you can share your wisdom without sharing unsolicited advice.

We also welcome grandparents who have been estranged from their grandchildren and adult children. Please know that we offer individual coaching sessions, W.I.S.E. circles facilitated by a conscious, caring and a knowledgeable coach, meditations, and affirmations.

Also, we will assist with a reconciliation plan if that is your intention.

CAUTION:  NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP IN GIVING YOURSELF THE SELF-CARE YOU NEED AND TAKE CARE OF YOU!
