Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
from Can you see what I see? · host Vicki Scott & Grace Hart
If grandparents take this responsibility on from a place of conscious choice, there is a "cleanness" around it...... and this usually comes from an awareness that it really does take a village to raise a child.But if the choice is from a place of necessity.... "I have to do this, there is noone else"...... it is a form of martyrdom, and it limits other possibilities.By getting into the centre of "your flower" (episode 1), and asking the question "would it generate and create greater for me to do this?" could have a very different impact on both the grandparent and the grandchild.When The Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress (Dr Gabor Mate)The Mind-Gut Connection: How the hidden conversation within our bodies impacts our mood, our choices, and our overall health (Dr Emeran Mayer)What Happened To You?

What this episode covers
More than 22,000 families in Australia are made up of grandparents actually raising their grandchildren fulltime, usually as a result of a family crisis of some kind. Some of this is done from a place of necessity as there is no-one else, or it is expected of them. The way we are when we make a choice to do this, can make the difference between creating greater for the grandparent and grandchild.
