Newsletter Grannies - Grandparents more important than ever

Dear Ladies,

According to a new study by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) and the Federal Institute for Population Research (BfP), around half of the children in Germany are looked after by their grandparents (in addition to school and kindergarten) - and this situation is naturally also found in many other countries. Without grandma, many families would not know how to manage their stressful everyday life between job and children.

Newsletter Familien - Granny Aupair: Mehr Leichtigkeit im Leben

Dear family,

If both parents are working and there are no grandparents or other relatives to take care of the children and a place in a nursery or pre school is currently unavailable, a Granny Aupair can be a welcome alternative. With her life experience and composure, a granny takes the pressure off everyday family life and brings a little more ease into the lives of young families.

Newsletter Grannies - Bereit für etwas Neues

Dear Ladies,
the older you are, the less willing to change? This is certainly not the case for most of the 50 to 75 generation. A third of this age group would like to try something completely new in older age or have already started something new (according to a Forsa survey commissioned by the German Koerber Foundation).

Newsletter Families - It takes a whole Village...

Dear Families,

an African proverb says: "It takes a whole village to raise a child." Unfortunately, this principle has been largely lost in our Western world, as author Michaeleen Douclef notes. Even today, most children of indigenous peoples grow up in large multi-generational households, and the raising of children is shared. Children thus learn to take over a role and responsibility at an early age.
