Grandparents: A Coat of Many Colors - Exploring Family Mentor Relationships and Love
The Middle School Mary Poppins PodcastShow Notes
What’s the grandest thing you’ve ever done? Built a treehouse? Made a birthday cake from scratch? Raised a child… twice?
In this heartwarming episode, Suzanne Swain (aka your favorite rural kid therapist) dives into the grand world of grandparents—from Rockettes at Radio City to blueberry summers in Alabama. With stories that range from Purple Hearts and polio to blueberry bushes and Jeopardy nights, Suzanne shines a light on the unsung heroes raising millions of children today.
If you've got a “Glammy,” “TT,” or just good old “Grandma,” this episode’s for you. So grab a donut (sprinkles optional), give your grand a hug, and let’s celebrate the magic, moxie, and memories that only grandparents can bring.
