A new baby creates new roles…a parent, of course, but also a grandparent. A happy family dynamic starts with proactive discussions before a baby is even born about the roles both parents and grandparents will have, and everyone’s expectations. This week, I welcome Dee Dee Moore, a grandparenting expert, to discuss how to foster healthy relationships and promote open communication between new parents and their parents.

She joins me to discuss:

• The need for effective communication between grandparents and parents
• How discussing roles and expectations early on is important for a positive relationship
• The pressures modern parents face from abundant information and social media
