Description

The go-to guide for improving communication and connection between parents and grandparents

From the thrilling moment a baby is born, family roles shift dramatically. While new parents and grandparents alike have the best of intentions, these intergenerational relationships can be emotionally charged and tricky. Things left unsaid can create distance, tensions, and misunderstanding. It's important to navigate these complex dynamics with love, openness, and empathy. But how?

In Say It Out Loud: How to Have Honest Conversations Between Parents and Grandparents, Pam Siegel and Leslie Zinberg help families communicate productively, leading to deeper understanding, collaboration, and connection between generations. They tackle the most relevant issues facing both generations today-including holidays, screen time, favoritism, discipline, changing roles, in-laws, religion, and estrangement-and provide concrete tools and exercises for each generation to practice and implement within their own family.

Filled with perspectives from parents and grandparents, key concepts, and expert insight, Say It Out Loud offers invaluable guidance for supporting loved ones respectfully and compassionately without overstepping. And when communication is open between generations, it sets an example for young grandchildren that can have a positive impact for years to come.
