Spoiler alert: there's no perfect set of ingredients that will make anyone the perfect "cool grandpa". However, there are general guidelines that will get most people well along the way - at least for the parts in their control.
What's key? Communication, boundaries, having fun. Here's the 'recipe', if you will, in a nutshell. (Plus a little self-reflection!)
So here's the 'recipe' from Cool Grandpa Greg Payne on how to put the guidelines into practice for your own family, including the considerations from both sides of the grandparent-parent fence.
Enjoy!
