In this heartwarming episode of Living the Dream with Curveball, we welcome Neil Taft, an 82-year-old author, great-great-grandfather, and “America’s Grandpa.” The author of five books, including The Bridge to Our Grandkids, Neil shares how his passion for grandparenting led him to write about building stronger family connections—and how a TikTok video sharing his advice reached more than 2 million people.
Listeners will hear about:
- Why caring for the mother of your grandchildren is key to building a lasting family bond
- How grandparents can respect parents’ boundaries and rebuild trust when relationships feel strained
- The importance of meeting grandchildren where they are and taking an interest in what they love
- Simple ways to help grandchildren feel safe, accepted, and special
- Neil’s practical idea for strengthening a connection today: sending each grandchild an encouraging text
Neil also shares stories from his own family, lessons learned through decades of grandparenting, and resources available through his website, CaringGrandparents.com. Join us for a thoughtful conversation about family, empathy, and the meaningful connections that can span generations.
