Baby Boomer Grandparents Redefining Grandparenting in Age Wave
Are you a grandboomer? Is it different than what your experience was like with your grandparents?
The Age Wave is redefining grandparenting.
- More than one in three baby boomers are grandparents, with the average age of grandboomers being 53.
-With life expectancy at record lengths, baby boomer grandparents will be part of their grandchildren’s lives longer than any previous generation.
- The newest grandchildren will see work as an integral part of their grandparents’ lives as boomers will work longer than previous generations of grandparents according to our study of boomers.
- Grandboomers are driving new products such as grandboomers.com and Grand Magazine, which was founded by grandboomer Christine Crosby, who skates, does yoga and videoconferences with her grandchildren.
