An advantage for your grandchildren. An advantage for your own children. An advantage for you. What being a grandparent is really worth — and how to collect all three of them.
You already know how to love a child — you raised one. What almost nobody tells you is what your presence is now worth, and to how many people at once. It pays out in three directions, and every one of them has been measured.
What this role gives back — sharper thinking, purpose, movement, company — and the joy of a small child again with the weight taken off.
What your help is really worth to their household — hours back, a career on track, slack in a marriage — and how to give it without taking over.
One adult who isn’t grading them — plus the reading, writing and speaking habits, and the legacy, that outlast a house full of screens.
Everyday play, turned into something a grandchild keeps. That is the whole idea — and the Playbook is how you do it on a Tuesday.
Start with one book if you want something to use this week, take both if you want the whole picture, or take the course if you would rather be walked through it on video.
Pick the one you need first. The Playbook is what to say and do this week; The Grandparent Advantage is why any of it works.
The pair is how the system actually works: one book changes how you see the role, the other tells you what to say on Tuesday afternoon. Cheaper than buying them separately.
Both books, plus six video modules and homework short enough that you finish it — and you end with a written plan for all three advantages.

He has spent his career advising founder-led organizations on leadership, alignment, and honest counsel — the same three things this book asks of a family. He wrote it after watching capable people arrive at grandparenthood without any idea what they were worth.
A 2024 meta-analysis of 38 studies and 344,860 children found worse average mental health among children primarily raised by grandparents — almost certainly because of the crisis that put them there, not the grandparents. This work includes that finding rather than hiding it, because a plan built on flattering evidence is not a plan.
