Rethinking the Roles: Grandparents Living with Us - Dr Jenny Rose

Loading player...

There is no easy way out: our parents will not be around forever, and being a parent while our own parents get older, or pass away, is a fundamental concept that many of us might struggle with in life. Juggling the role of being a good parent, while also looking after our parents when they age, means we must stay present - being acutely aware of appreciating every present moment of joy, with our loved ones. In this podcast Elana speaks to clinical psychologist, Dr Jenny Rose, about the beauty of creating structure - for our kids, and our ageing parents - to enable a love-filled, successful balance in our family. Brought to you by Epi-max Baby & Junior – our family, for your family. Also supported by Jacaranda 94.2.
