Grandparents Day is Sunday, September 8. We all know parenting is difficult. In fact, the surgeon general warns parenting can be hazardous to your health. Nearly half of parents are so stressed they struggle to function according to Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's new report. Murthy believes there are measures our government (and bosses) could take that would lighten the load.

Who else can help? A new study identifies the one grandparent who has the biggest impact on kids well-being.

The Unique Role of Grandmothers: A recent study highlights that grandmothers, particularly maternal grandmothers, play a pivotal role in a child's life, especially for those who have experienced trauma. Their nurturing presence can have a lasting positive impact on a child's emotional and psychological resilience. This deep bond often becomes a source of strength, helping children navigate difficult times.

Yoga for Kids and Grandparents: Yoga can be an excellent way for grandparents to connect with their grandchildren while fostering emotional and physical well-being. The practice of yoga teaches children mindfulness, stress relief, and body awareness, all of which are essential for healthy development. Engaging in yoga together allows grandparents to share these benefits, creating a calm and supportive environment.

Combining Wisdom and Wellness: Incorporating yoga into the time grandparents spend with their grandchildren can enhance the nurturing influence that grandmothers provide. Through yoga, grandparents can help children develop coping mechanisms, enhance their physical health, and build a stronger emotional bond. This combination of wisdom and wellness offers a holistic approach to nurturing a child’s growth and resilience, particularly in challenging times.

Grandparents, especially grandmothers, are crucial figures in a child’s life, offering love and stability that can help heal emotional wounds. By introducing yoga into their routine, grandparents can further support their grandchildren’s overall well-being, making their impact even more profound and long-lasting.
