It's good for them to kind of do this self check, this self evaluation without you having to go fully there and um kind of create a chasm in the middle.
In the other piece too.
I've been really happy to see this.
You know, there's the you know, meetup dot com and I've seen a growth in the types of meetups that are specific to grandparents in multigenerational and caregiving situations where they're creating their own meetups specifically around being an for example, a granny nanny, or they're creating a meetup around
being a grandparent to a grandchild who has autism or whatever the case may be and they're kind of creating the space to have their own conversations around it and to support each other as grandparents so they can speak their own language.
And some of the groups also extend to families working with that.
And I think
That's another resource that really helps grandparents get on the same page with the adult kids because it's good to have the peer to peer conversations because as grandparents and as adult children, we are not in a peer to peer situation and that can often be tricky.
I think one of the things that adult parents have to adult kids have to remind themselves is that in this whole game of parenting, you don't have to do all of this by yourself.
So when you're trying to build or rebuild the relationship with the grandparents, specifically around
what you're working through as a family and supporting your differently wired child, it's good to get an outside party to help you facilitate these conversations, whether it be a workshop
Or have a mentor come in and do it, maybe somebody within your spiritual organization that might have some expertise on that.
And I feel like a lot of families have a lot of comfort with that choice.
And then also getting a coach.
Or spending some time having family meetings that are structured where you list a topic per month and you all agree to work on it and you use any tools and tips that have worked for you.
as the adult child parenting your differently wired child and you spend time working with the grandparents on that.
There are so many ways to have the conversations, but you have to think about
how people communicate, how comfortably with with sharing their thoughts and feelings and who can be the best person or what can be the best method to facilitate that.
So having a mentor, a coach, doing a workshop.
having someone from your religious organization
