In this episode of "The Family Business with The Alessis," Mary and Steve Alessi share their experiences and insights on transitioning from parenting to becoming grandparents - all while continuing to parent adult kids that remain at home.

It's a rush no one is fully prepared for - becoming a grandparent!

If you've experienced this massive change, you may be feeling a mix of joy, anxiety and frustration as you navigate this new role - especially if you are still in the parent role as well.

You'll learn about blessings and challenges that come with grandparenthing, the importance of passing down the family legacy, and the joy of being able to enjoy your grandchildren without the pressure of disciplining them.

If you've struggled to make the switch being less hands on with your adult kids, you'll learn how to provide trust and support for your children's parenting abilities as the Alessis offer advice on how to navigate the grandparenting journey.
