Grandparenting Matters

Share

This page is for grandparents everywhere to learn about and comment on
research on intergenerational issues and comment on family dynamics.

This page is about the role of grandparents in the 21st century. Grandmothers no longer reside in rocking chairs; Granddads rarely smoke ci**rs and pontificate over a game of chess. How can the grandparents of today relate to their children and grandchildren in a world of technology, and what can research tell us about their value? The page moderator is Marlene A. Bumgarner, Ed.D., professor of early childhood education and a bona fide grandparent.

Earlier today, I asked an AI to reflect—in the spirit of Mister Rogers—on what’s happening in Minneapolis. What came back included making room for feelings, staying tender, and choosing care even when things feel overwhelming. This is embodied spirituality that starts close to home—in our bodies, our neighborhoods, and the small ways we show up for one another. May we continue to choose compassion remind one another we matter, and we’re not alone. #FaithAndSocialJustice #ResistanceAndFaith #EmbodiedSpirituality #fredrogers 01/28/2026

Im still reeling from hearing a woman journalist being called "piggy" by the Commander in Chief. Where is the outrage?

We won’t be here to see it, but doesn’t it warm your heart to know that a piece of you will stay with your grandchildren forever? I don’t know about you, but I hope my grandchildren talk about me when they’re my age just like you’re talking about your grandparents now🙂❤️ #grandpa #grandma #grandparents #parenting #familyfirst #family #grandsons #granddaughters #wisdom #dadlife #momlife #dads #moms #lifelessons #naplesflorida #fathers #mothers #advice #legacy #inlaws #rolemodel #memories 10/07/2025
