  • Some nuggets but

    So there are a few good nuggets here but I find the shows are getting longer and have too many academics discussing too much theory. Would prefer a more practical approach.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Grandparenting Blueprint – Linda & Richard Eyre (Part One)
Q: What does the TEAM acronym stand for and how does it work in practice?
TEAM stands for Trunk, Ear, Assembler, and Matcher. The trunk represents the grandparents as the roots of the family, the ear emphasizes listening to the grandchildren and parents, the assembler helps bond extended family members, and the matcher governs how and when money or opportunities are offered, ensuring balance and accountability. Together they form a collaborative, non-authoritarian approach that honors the parents' leadership while enabling meaningful grandparent involvement.
The Grandparenting Blueprint – Richard Eyre (Part Two)
Q: How do you keep grandchildren engaged across ages, and how do the master classes fit in?
Engagement comes from age-appropriate exercises, stories, and interactive discussions that let kids finish the stories themselves. The grandfathering master classes extend the book's concepts into ongoing courses—grandparenting 101 and a broader second-half course—hosted on the same website, providing communities and weekly discussions to learn from others' experiences.
The Grandparenting Blueprint – Richard Eyre (Part Two)
Q: What inspired this approach and how does it work?
The guest explains that observing his wife, a natural grandmother, inspired a desire to create teachable, age-appropriate life lessons. He began with ten lessons and experimented with making them simple secrets, using storytelling and case studies to engage children rather than lecture them. The format evolved after early attempts failed, leading to royalties and personal participation from his grandkids to ensure relevance and interest.
Eat Your Ice Cream – Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, PhD
Q: Could you tell us the story behind rule number one?
The rule comes from Emanuel's father, who would say 'don't be a schmuck' to stop his sons from doing stupid things; the idea extended into broader wellness advice that emphasizes wise choices and curiosity.
Making & Keeping Friends…in Retirement – Janice McCabe
Q: So we may think that our ability to make friends comes from our personality and social skills. Your research highlights something else. Why do structural factors really matter?
They matter a lot because they can make making friends either easier or harder, and we may not realize it. So people blame themselves, they feel like they're doing everything right, and yet they may not be successful in making friends because the people that they're encountering may not be open to it.
