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.
Show Notes
- 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.
