Parenting the second time around, as it is often called, has been found to have its ups and downs. Some grandparents have said that raising small children at this stage in life can be “youthening” or that it’s “Like being given another shot at life.”
Given these grandparents’ weighty decision-making and child-rearing responsibilities, linkage with community resources can be a valuable component of successful second-time parenting.
Volunteering for a grandparents and children organization can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Not only does it provide an opportunity to give back to the community, but it also offers numerous benefits for the volunteers themselves.
