Loving and Supporting Your Children Through Adulthood
Speakers: Dr. Bruce Locklear and Dr. Dawn Locklear

This group offers connection and encouragement on the grandparenting journey. We gather one Thursday night a month to learn and build community with other grandparents

This month, join Dr. Bruce Locklear and Dr. Dawn Locklear, parents of 2 and grandparents of 5, for the kick-off of Grandparenting With Purpose!

  • How do we come alongside our adult children when life is challenging, without overstepping or interfering?
  • What happens when your children have totally different parenting styles?
  • How do you support your adult child who made a conscious decision to join a different religion or denomination?
