Being a grandparent today isn’t about fitting into an old mould but finding your own rhythm.  Between love and limits, care and independence…there’s space for a new kind of grand-parenting to emerge.

In this episode of The Ageing Ideal, Jacinta Parsons speaks with grandparents Chris and Janice who talk about how they make it work as the live as one of four generations in their home.  

Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg is one of Australia’s most trusted psychologists and author of the book Grandparents and joins Jacinta to reflect on how grand parenting today is vastly different to previous generations of grandparents.  

Jacinta also speaks with Ann McLeish who is the Director of Grandparents Victoria to discuss what rights grandparents hold, how they can communicate those boundaries with some grace and some confidence.

The Ageing Ideal

We’re all ageing; it’s one of life’s greatest privileges.

The Ageing Ideal is not just another podcast about ageing. Each episode brings together people from all walks of life, their experience and asks questions to ignite a new conversation about getting older and how we can break down barriers.

We’re delighted to bring you Season Two, where the conversation gets even more interesting.

With our host, ABC radio broadcaster Jacinta Parsons, we challenge the perception that older people need to be wrapped in cotton wool. We discuss love at any age, grand parenting, the concept of joy and ask the question, what would we say to our younger self in the episode Dear younger me.
