grandchild grandparents parenting/intergenerational connection podcast Oct 09, 2025

LISTEN NOW:

SHOWNOTES:

In this episode, I share why teaching kids to honor and acknowledge their elders matters so much to me. I talk about the power of small gestures like saying hello or using someone’s name and how they can build real respect across generations. I also share practical ways parents can nurture this value in their children, helping them see the worth in every older adult they meet. My hope is to inspire families to make kindness and connection part of everyday life.

00:00 Practical Parenting Advice for Honoring Elders
