Miranda is a Grandmother who recently received legal guardianship
of her grandson and is feeling overwhelmed with the new challenges of parenting
as a grandparent. She is worried that she has out-of-date parenting skills. She
says that the Love and Logic parenting class she attended provided her with
information that addressed her specific needs and concerns with parenting. Discipline was at the top of her list. She acknowledged that she didn’t feel
confident, since she previously had the role as a grandparent and that through
this parent education class she learned different ways on how to manage her
(grand) child in regard to discipline that she feels more comfortable and
confident with using. Miranda said she
learned several discipline techniques that she feels are direct, yet
nurturing. In addition, she feels as
though she has connected with other parents, including another grandparent in a
similar situation who she feels will be a future support.
