Shirley Showalter and Marilyn McEntyre know that grandparenting is more than just cookies and Play-Doh. Don\u2019t get us wrong, those things are fun! But the art of contemporary grandparenting requires mindfulness, intentionality, and navigating boundaries. On today\u2019s episode, Courtney Martin talks with Marilyn and Shirley about their book, The Mindful Grandparent, and the wisdom they\u2019ve gained as elders to 12 grandchildren.\xa0\n\nIf you liked this episode check out: How To Face Your Kid\u2019s Future\n\nDo you have a problem that needs solving?
