ANNOUNCEMENTS

• This Sunday is National Grandparent’s Day and today’s NanaHood article is a reminder to reach out and a hug a grandparent!

  Grab a Grandma and Give Her A Hug – Teresa Bell Kindred

  In 1978 President Jimmy Carter declared the first Sunday after Labor Day National Grandparent’s Day. In 1978 I was in my early 20’s. I probably didn’t even notice his declaration, but I always loved and respected my grandparents.

  When I was young I thought everyone grew up with a mom and a dad in the house and loving grandparents right down the road. Then I went away to college and quickly learned that wasn’t the case.

  One of the goals of NanaHood is to connect the generations. It really does take a village to raise a child and parents need all the help and support they can get. Another goal is to remind grandparents (and moms and dads) of the positive difference a supportive grandparent can make in the life of a child. In my case it was my maternal grandmother who taught me so many life lessons with her kindness, gentle spirit and patience.

  If you are lucky enough to still have your grandparents (near or far) go visit them if you can. If not, call them this Sunday or send a card. I know they will appreciate it!

  Help a Nana celebrate NanaHood. It really is grand to be a grandparent!
