This Sunday, September 13th, is National Grandparents Day, a time for us to celebrate the special gifts grandparents bring to our lives and those of our children. Perhaps it is more important to celebrate this holiday this year during the pandemic when seeing grandparents face-to-face may be not be possible. The role grandparents play in children’s lives is evolving and as many as 2.7 million grandparents have assumed the responsibility of raising their grandchildren. This year, why not honor this special bond by interviewing Oliver Akamnonu, M.D., who can discuss why he and his wife left their high-powered careers to help their daughter and new grandchild and why today’s grandparents often go beyond offering financial support, childcare and parental advice to make a difference in their family’s lives? Dr. Akamnonu has authored 18 books including one with his wife, “Little Baby Lydia, Grandma, Grandpa and Student Mom: Saga of Family Role Reversal and the New Times.” Contact Dr. Oliver Akamnonu at (413) 206-6753; oakamnonu@rtirguests.com
