Raising a 10-Year-Old and Watching a 26-Year-Old Become a Father

Kiwanis Rucker-Walker Season 1 Episode 4

Parenting is never one-size-fits-all—especially when you’ve got a 10-year-old at home and a 26-year-old about to become a parent himself. In this heartfelt episode, Kiwanis shares what it’s really like to raise kids in two different generations while stepping into the brand-new role of grandma. From energy shifts to emotional rollercoasters, she opens up about the joys, challenges, and growing pains of parenting at midlife—and the beautiful perspective it brings.

Key Takeaways
• Parenting at 45 hits different—from patience to energy to expectations.
• You don’t parent your adult kids the same way as your younger ones—and that’s okay.
• There’s a fine line between helping and hovering when your kids become parents.
• Grace, perspective, and presence are the real keys to parenting through different life seasons.
