THIS EPISODE OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER reflects on the unique perspective of grandparents, having the freedom to love their grandchildren without the responsibility of shaping them and highlights the value of empowering ourselves to value and share the wisdom we have accumulated through life with the young ones around us. Today’s Featured Guest is Judith Frizlen, writer, teacher, mother, grandmother, founder of the Rose Garden Early Childhood Center and author of Where Wisdom Meets Wonder:  40 Stories of Grandma Love. An advocate for young children and everyone who cares for them – she is a champion of play and loves to go on adventures with her husband – whether traveling, kayaking, hiking, bicycling, or just strolling through the local park. Her other books include: “Unpacking Guilt, a Mother’s Journey to Freedom”, “Words for Parents in Small Doses”, and “Words for Teachers and Caregivers in Small Doses”.  Episode Timeline  0:11 Embracing aging's positives with wisdom and play  2:51 Early childhood education and social development 10:22 Child development, grandparenting, and intergenerational connections 16:03 Aging, wisdom, and sharing experiences. 24:09 Aging, health, and wellness: the Growing Older Living Younger mission Learn more about Judith Frizlen and her books at the links below https://www.linkedin.com/in/judith-frizlen-70aabb17 https://www.instagram.com/judith_frizlen/ https://www.facebook.com/JudithFrizlenAuthor/ About Your Host: Dr. Gillian Lockitch Download the Growing Older Living Younger app Download your free Guide to Living Younger Longer.  Schedule a free Discovery Call with Dr. Gill Email  Dr. Gill at [email protected] website: https://www.askdrgill.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gillian.lockitch/ GOLY Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/growingolderlivingyounger And if you have not already done so, follow,  rate and review the Growing Older Living Younger podcast.
