Description

When my husband and I moved away from our hometown, my parents worried that their relationship with my kids wouldn’t be what they imagined. But my parents did a fabulous job of staying connected to their grandkids despite the distance. Today we’re going to talk about how you can do that, too!My guest today is Mark Gregston. Mark began his work with teens forty years ago when he was a youth minister and then an area director with Young Life. In 1989, Mark and his wife Jan started Heartlight, a residential counseling center for struggling teens and families in crisis. Today, Mark has four grandchildren and is the author of a brand new book, Grandparenting Teens.In this episode, we talk about how grandparents can connect with the heart of their teen grandchildren, how we can stay engaged and involved in our grandchildren’s lives no matter if we live near or far from them, how we can become better listeners than answer-givers, providing wisdom rather than knowledge, and so much more!Show Notes: https://jillsavage.org/mark-gregston-59/
