Generation X is rewriting the rules of grandparenting, challenging old traditions and stepping into a role that looks nothing like it did before. As the generation that was once overlooked, GenXers are now getting attention—and some criticism—for the way they approach grandparenting.
Millennial children might think GenX parents aren’t involved enough, while Boomer grandparents believe they’re too hands-on. But GenXers have forged strong, friendship bonds with their children, shaking up traditional family roles and expectations in the process.
Tonya Ludwig, a GenX grandparent, knows firsthand that without understanding the generational divide, family relationships can become fragile. But when we bridge those differences, we build stronger, more meaningful connections. It’s about finding common ground, setting healthy boundaries, and embracing the unique challenges of being sandwiched between four generations.
In a world where grandparenting looks different for GenXers, this book is essential for anyone in—or approaching—that season. With a little faith and a fresh perspective, GenX can redefine grandparenting and build family bonds that stand the test of time. This is the must-read guide for every GenX grandparent ready to navigate the journey ahead.
