Building Healthy Families: Closed caption for all grandparents: Never doubt that you are critically important to the young members of your family. Don’t let their feigned disinterest or preoccupation with their cell phones dissuade you! Engage them often in conversation. They need to know about your family history, your values and your faith. Hearing about their baptism and their place as a child of the King is even better! Research shows that children who know the stories of where they came from have a stronger sense of confidence and security. Those are needed today more than ever. Lutheran Family Services
