WEBINAR: Grandparents as Care Providers
ZERO to THREE is providing a free webinar addressing Grandparents as Care Providers–Understanding Their Experiences and Meeting Their Needs
Thursday Sept 14, 2017 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm EDT
Grandparents are the caregivers of choice for working parents of children under five. But while grandparents tell us their grandchildren are their greatest joy, sharing the care with their adult children isn’t always smooth sailing. Join ZERO TO THREE for a live, interactive virtual event—learn more about how grandparents view their role and get tips on helping families navigate this essential three-generation relationship. This free virtual event is open to parents, providers, and of course, grandparents! Handouts will be provided, and Rebecca Parlakian, Senior Director of Programs at ZERO TO THREE, will answer questions following the presentation.
