New parenthood changes our relationships with our parents and our parents-in-law. How do you navigate the underlying (often unexpressed) expectations and assumptions about the role of grandparents?

Clinical Psychologist, Dr Renée Miller talks with Sarah Morrissey on Little Rockers Radio 
about some of the challenges parents can face with their children's grandparents.

What can we let go of, and what's worth raising when our parenting philosophies differ?
How do we not take personally some of the things grandparents say?
​What's happening between grandparents and grandchildren during COVID lockdown?
