Childcare, Boundaries & Planning Adventures

Episode #14

Welcome back to The Modern Grandparenting Podcast with Clinical Psychologist Dr Lyn Worsley, Music Teacher Jackie O’Connor, and Broadcast Journalist Leigh Hatcher. In this episode of The Modern Grandparenting Podcast, we dive into a topic that’s becoming more and more relevant for families everywhere — the growing reliance on grandparents for childcare.

How much is too much? How do you say “yes” without losing yourself — or “no” without guilt?

We explore:

• Setting healthy, realistic boundaries as a grandparent
• Why clear, open communication between generations matters more than ever
• How to create meaningful, fun adventures with your grandkids (without burnout!)

Plus, Nanna Lyn shares her practical, down-to-earth tips for managing expectations — both your grandchildren’s and your own children’s — so everyone feels supported, respected, and connected.

Whether you’re a hands-on grandparent or navigating your role in a busy modern family, this episode is full of insight, reassurance, and inspiration.

 Listen now and start planning your next adventure — on your terms.
