    EP - 179 A Work In Progress
    Apr 26 2024
    In this episode, Parcsen, a grandfather from Singapore, talks about his experience and the role of grandfathers in the family and community. We talk about the issue of isolation and loneliness among the older population and the need for intergenerational connections. Parcsen shares his journey of becoming a grandfather and his joy seeing his children progress. We also talk about special activities with grandchildren and the changing role of grandfathers in Singapore. Finally, we discuss Parcsen's experience with intergenerational reconciliation and the importance of healing old wounds. Our conversation explores the importance of reconciling with one's father and understanding his story. It emphasizes the three Rs: Recognize, Reconciliation, and Reconnect. A father-son relationship can be restored by recognizing the man behind the father, developing empathy, and taking the initiative to reconcile. The benefits of reconciliation extend to future generations. The conversation also touches on the Better Man podcast and the importance of personal growth and development as a father.

    EP - 178 Support for Grandparents with Generations United
    Apr 19 2024
    Raising children can be a tough row to hoe. No matter what age you are, there are a lot of demands on your time, energy, knowledge, and patience when dealing with children. Not only do you need to manage the children, but you also need to manage their schedules, diets, hobbies and interests, friends, and education. I am worn out just thinking about and writing these sentences. Well, this week, we are going to discuss Grandfamilies. Grandfamilies are made up of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other family members who are raising strong, successful children. Jamarl D. Clark and Mr. Robert Brown joined our conversation this week to discuss two important topics. First, we will learn how Mr. Brown and his wife became the guardians and then the parents of their three young grandsons. Second, we will learn about Grandfamlies and Generations United. After Robert shares his touching story of the day in 2006 when his grandsons lost their mother and father in a shooting one Sunday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, we get into a great discussion about the aftermath of that horrible event and how the community and his former employer rallied around him and those affected by the shooting. Robert and Jamarl discuss the local and national resources available to family members responsible for caring for and raising grandchildren. Jamarl D. Clark, the Assistant Director of the National Center on Grandfamilies, discusses how his organization and other local and national entities support Grandfamilies and the work that so many people do to keep family members, including young children, together. Once you have listened to this important episode, please share it with your family, friends, or acquaintances interested in learning more about Grandfamilies and Generations United.

    EP - 177 Grandchildren Choose What is Quality Time
    Apr 12 2024
    Lee Ostler joins the conversation this week to talk about his relationship with his grandchildren. We are fortunate to hear Lee talk about building and nurturing relationships with both grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. We discuss how our identities change from being known as 'Dad' to becoming 'Grandpa.' While we enjoy the change that comes from having grandchildren, it is a bit of a mixed bag of emotions and our place within the family. Many men, when envisioning themselves as suddenly older, wonder about the value they have with their friends, family, and even professionally. Lee talks to us about the importance of building bonds and relationships with our grandchildren, starting when they are young. We also talk about the importance of having different kinds of activities with the grandchildren because we don't know what moment will be a quality moment for them. The grandchildren pick and choose which event or which time with grandpa will be impactful for them. You will enjoy hearing Lee's insights and stories about his experience as a grandfather. After you have listened to this episode, please be sure to subscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast app. It would be great if you could share this conversation with three friends and family members.
