Millennial Grandparents; Insights From James Lott Jr. - EP 243

I welcome back longtime friend and repeat guest Dr. James Lott Jr., host of Really, I'm a Grandparent!, to discuss the rise of millennial grandparents and how shifting generational dynamics are reshaping modern family life. Together, we unpack everything from Millennials' and Gen Z's futures as grandparents to how technology, social media, and evolving family structures have changed what it means to be a grandparent today. The discussion is full of humor, honesty, and insight — a lively cross-generational conversation about love, legacy, and laughter. Highlights: Why millennials are redefining what "young grandparent" means. The role of technology and social media in shaping modern family life. How Gen X's "latchkey kid" experience impacts their grandparenting style. Why millennial and Gen Z grandparents may raise kids with less stigma and more openness. The growing visibility of grandfathers in modern families. What multi-generational households tell us about the future of family. The importance of humor, patience, and presence in every generation Links and Resources: Here are the links to James Lott Junior's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JLJMedia Click HERE to visit the Caring Grandparents website.
