Does your family's sandwich have an extra layer? Sarah Macdonald talks with educator and parenting author Maggie Dent about modern grandparenting for people in the sandwich generation, balancing support for their children, grandchildren, and ageing parents. They discuss the transformative identity shift of becoming a grandparent, the importance of negotiating boundaries with your grandchild's parents, and easy ways to offer help, like making meals or giving parents time off. Ageing parents? You've got them. We've got you.
