Wild Hare Antenatal: Modern Grandparent Workshops
Becoming a grandparent is a profound shift—full of joy, pride, and a whole new kind of responsibility. But so much has changed in baby care, family dynamics, and the way new parents make decisions. Many grandparents want to feel helpful and involved, without overstepping or feeling unsure of what’s expected.
This gentle 2‑hour workshop offers a respectful, up-to-date look at modern baby care alongside space to explore the emotional transition into grandparenthood. It’s designed to strengthen family relationships, reduce conflict, and help grandparents feel confident, included, and valued.
The course can be attended by a grandparent and one other person (a partner, or the expectant mum/dad), creating a shared understanding that supports the whole family.

The heart of the workshop
This session honours the wisdom grandparents bring while offering the clarity and reassurance that help families thrive. It’s not about telling you how to grandparent.
