Week 4: Developing God-Honoring Relationships with My Grandchildren’s Parents


For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice.
Genesis 18:19

Objectives

  • Understand that no one has a greater influence on your grandchildren than their parents. 
  • Critically evaluate the dynamics that currently exist in your family and their impacts and sources
  • Engage with your children about their view of your involvement and seek their counsel on how best to come along side (e.g. ask and listen).
  • Intentionally help guide grandchildren to honor and obey their parents.

BIG IDEA

One of the best things you can do for your grandchildren is to love and respect their parents.

How to Parent Adult Children with Dr. Jim Burns & Host Krista Gilbert​

Dr. Jim Burns, president of Homeword, joins The Open Door Sisterhood to offer his insight into not only how we begin early to prepare for this stage, but also how to navigate difficult conversations, what to do if our kids move back home, and what to do if we don’t approve of who they are choosing to date and/or marry.​
