In this special two-part episode of Being Grandparents, Kimberly joins Stevie and Deanne to talk about an important part of her work: helping grandparents prepare for a new addition to the family.

Kimberly shares practical advice on communicating with your adult children, respecting boundaries, offering meaningful support, and working together to become the grandparents both you and your kids feel your new grandbaby needs. Whether you're expecting your very first grandchild or you've been a grandparent for years, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on building stronger relationships as your family grows.

| When the Kids & Grandkids Move Away | The Grandparenting Chapter Nobody Warns You About | 28 Sep 2026 | 00:25:20 | |
What happens when your kids move awayāand take the grandkids with them? š¢š On this episode of Being Grandparents, Stevie & Deanne talk about a part of grandparenting nobody really prepares you for: when your children and grandchildren move away. Suddenly, Sunday dinners, quick visits, ballgames, babysitting and those spontaneous grandkid moments aren't so spontaneous anymore. How do you adjust when the people who were just down the road are now hoursāor even statesāaway? We're talking about the emotions that come with the change, the funny realities of long-distance grandparenting, and ways families can continue making memories even when they can't be together as often as they'd like. And because this is Being Grandparents, we'll probably find a few things to laugh about along the way. ā¤ļø We want to hear from you: Do your grandchildren live nearby or far away? How do you stay connected? Tell us in the commentsāyour idea might help another grandparent! š Like the episode Being Grandparents ā because the grandkids may grow up and move away, but you never stop being Grandma and Grandpa.
