BrightYears helps grandparents understand modern childhood and find meaningful ways to connect — respecting boundaries while deepening relationships.
Screen time, gentle parenting, later potty training, extended breastfeeding — so much has changed since you raised your own children. It can feel confusing, even worrying.
BrightYears provides modern context so you can understand why today's parents make the choices they do — and appreciate the wisdom in approaches that might seem unfamiliar.
"When Mia's parents respond to her tantrums by staying calm and naming her feelings, they're practicing what researchers call 'emotion coaching.' Studies show this approach helps children develop stronger emotional regulation over time."
You receive different insights than the parents do — perspectives designed for your unique role in your grandchild's life.
Age-appropriate questions and topics that help you connect meaningfully during visits or calls.
Understanding how parenting research has evolved and why modern approaches work.
Ways to offer help that parents actually want — and boundaries that strengthen relationships.
Whether you live nearby or far away, BrightYears helps you stay connected to what matters most in your grandchild's life right now.
"The best grandparents are the ones who show up — not with advice, but with presence. Not with judgment, but with joy."
BrightYears helps you understand your grandchild's world so you can be fully present in it — curious, connected, and endlessly supportive.
