Today’s politics divide Parties, friends, and families. Having strong political positions makes it harder for people who are Republican to live with their Democratic family members, and vice versa.
This ideological divide is not the only 2024 issue creating tension in families. The current generation’s parenting style can be different from how their parents raised them creating a generational divide and tension.
Guest Francine Smilen decided to take this issue on and created the Grandmothers Circle, a workshop series focused on ways to live and learn from these different parenting approaches and enjoy the role of grandparenting.
Ms. Smilen is a Certified Executive Coach who recently retired from a career in training and organizational development. She has experienced her greatest joys and sorrows as a grandmother to Francesca, Talia, and Maya.
