Because their peers pressure them to be cool and their parents correct them. But you’re one-of-a-kind; you’re a cheerleader. Your influence—the intentional words you share—will stick long after their Snapchats and TikToks disappear. Spend some time with next gen expert Dr. Bob Peterson and discover strategies for connecting with your grandchildren!
