Would you love to support your children in their parenting role?

Would you love to know when it is “right” to step in and when not to?

Would you love to experience delightful joyous relationships within your family group? Discover your unique gifts, abilities and the style of grandparenting that suits you and your grandchildren?

Grandparents play such an important role in our lives today. They are our parents and they love our children. For grandparents it can be a tricky role to play. Watching your children be parents and parenting their grandchildren. How do you know when to say something that occurs to you or step in when your heart says so? What is your true role as a grandparent and with your children?

In this course you come to discover the truth about your true authentic self. You will identify your unique, special gifts and abilities as a grandparent, in relation to your own children and each of your grandchildren.

By coming to know your true self, a new lease on life emerges that you may have never known before. You will be able to connect with and use your inner wisdom to know about every situation you face in your personal life and as a grandparent. Also you can create a new life that is full of what your heart desires and enjoy those beautiful, rich and loving relationships within your families.

Enjoy.

Being a grandparent is a very special, unique opportunity.

I am not a grandparent yet, I am old enough to be, as I was a late bloomer in the having-children department. So we are very blessed to have our co-facilitator Mary Atkins work with us on this course. Mary is a mother to three children and has eight grand children. So we are in very good hands. Mary brings to the course her rich experience and wisdom, which I know will benefit us all.

At Blossoming Families we run a course called “The Joy of Grandparenting”. Let us show you how to enjoy the three roles of being a grandparent:

1. Being who you are. There may be lots of change in your life, life may be folding down a bit. The questions on your mind could be: From now until the end of my life what do I really want to do? and Have I created my dreams? Have I lived my life from as my true authentic self?
2. Being a parent to your children. You are redefining your role with them. You still want to love, connect and support them. What special gifts and qualities do you have to give to them? Sometimes it can be like walking on a tightrope, you see things and want to say something, but don’t know what to do, what to say or how to say it. Using your wisdom and intuition, you will know what to say and how to say it; you can support your children as wise loving parents and nurture and empower them in their role thus enhancing your relationship with them.
3. Being a grandparent to your grandchildren. You can receive the absolute delight of relating to and with your gorgeous grandchildren. You can know the special qualities, gifts and talents you bring to each relationship. Each grandchild is unique and by using your intuition you will be able to connect with their individuality and develop a special relationship with each of them. Sharing your experience of growing up and insight into another time with your grandchildren is a very rich experience to share, which is unique to you and them. You offer a different perspective. You are able to enjoy a different parenting experience with your grandchildren, with none of the demands you had with your own children. From that you can richly contribute insight and support to your own children and your grandchildren. You know how wonderful it is for your children to be able to give their children to someone else who knows them and loves them.

By learning to use your wisdom and intuition, you will also have:

• An appreciation of your own, your partner's, your children's and your grandchildren's unique gifts and abilities.
• The ability to support yourself and your family to be who they are and create what they love, and enjoy greater connected family life.
• Insight and wisdom when conflict arises. You will know how to deal with conflict in an authentic and truthful way to bring about what each person truly desires.

The Joy of Grandparenting and Wisteria

The flower I see that relates to Grandparenting is wisteria.

Wisteria is a beautiful vine that produces gorgeous purple, pink or white blossoms. It reminds me of old age timeless things. The beauty of the ancient vines with its twisted, turned and knotted branches brings an age-old theme to a garden.

The wisteria creates shade and shelter beneath it, allows the light to shine through it and is a vine that holds many branches and flowers, which are totally supported by the vine. So are you as grandparents. You provide shelter for us, as our parents. You make yourself available, a strong safe shelter to come to; you embrace us with love, wisdom and support. You allow us to shine, by being there, showering us with love and support us in our role as parents. You beam when you are with your grandchildren. There is such a rich connection and love for your grandchildren, we see it in your eyes when you are with our children and talk with them. You are wise through your experience as parents and your life experience.

Look at the beauty of those flower blooms, they are truly magnificent. Look at the colour and the richness of the colour. So don’t say you have nothing to offer. You are rich in so many areas and willing to give and share. Even if you judge yourself as not being a great parent, with your grandchildren and by beginning new relationships with your children, you can become a better parent and experience your grandparenting role to the fullest degree.

Each wisteria is different to the next. So too are people. We are unique creatures. However, we can lead our lives and never come to know who we really are and discover the joy of living from our real self. I suppose when your children begin to leave the nest or have left, your whole life can change and you may realise you have either lived for your children and/or lived for your career. What we are offering to you is to know your real self, identify who you really are, what you would love now and how you would love to live your life from this point. To come to know who you are is a very liberating experience because suddenly a whole new life, with possibly different values and attitudes emerge. What a great time for this to happen now you are a grandparent. You have the opportunity to live a richer life for yourself and with your children and grandchildren. You can re-define your relationships by coming from your true self: I think that is very liberating for you and for them.

The course will take you on a journey, to connect and live from your true self. Your life will be enriched and everyone you are in touch with will benefit too. You will have your inner wisdom to lead and guide you and provide true insight when it is needed. In a way you could start a new and exciting life. It’s an amazing opportunity.

We offer this opportunity through undertaking the course, The Joy Of Grandparenting.
