Who We Are

Grand Connect is a growing network of grandparents and parents committed to making the world and our families better, by becoming better ourselves. We believe the path to a stronger family and a brighter future begins with connection: to our own hearts, to each other, and to the generations that follow. We’ve learned that true legacy isn’t about being remembered for who we are or were—it’s about our influence and how our family feels about themselves when they are with us or think about us.

We believe in the innate strength, wisdom, and potential of our grandchildren. Our role is not to mold them into our image, but to walk beside them as they discover who they are meant to be. When we accept them and their feelings without judgment or expectation, we create a safe space where they can grow, take healthy risks, change their mind, and build inner confidence. If we hope for them to change, we must first be willing to change ourselves—shifting our attitudes and approaches, healing our own wounds, and letting go of control. Walking beside them with humility and no requirements for our love, gives them the courage to face life’s challenges-knowing that they are seen, heard, and attached.
