Long-Distance Grandparenting Is Different (And That’s Okay)

Описание: Being a long-distance grandparent isn’t the same as being the grandparent who lives around the corner—and pretending it is can leave you feeling frustrated, disconnected, and unsure of how to truly bond.

In this video, I’m sharing a realization I had after reflecting on last week’s message about not needing to be the storytime person in your grandchild’s life. Instead of trying to recreate what we can’t have from a distance, what if we embraced being a long-distance grandparent—and leaned into the unique ways we can create meaningful connection?

You’ll learn:
✅ Why trying to “be the same” from far away often backfires
✅ How embracing difference can actually strengthen your bond
✅ Why storytime works so beautifully for long-distance relationships
✅ How to create shared experiences your grandchild can count on

If you’ve ever felt awkward on FaceTime, unsure what to say, or worried that distance is costing you closeness—this message is for you.

You don’t need to be "the" storytime person.
You just need to be "their" long-distance grandparent. 💞
