The Turquoise Butterfly, acts as a resource—for parents, grandparents, and any other champion of the younger generation—to teach researched-backed anxiety coping skills that resonate with children including nurturing intergenerational relationships and building a loving legacy for the well-being of both grandchild and grandparent. Dr. Dale Atkins’ The Turquoise Butterfly reminds us to bond with your grandchild or important young person in your life: IT’S ALL ABOUT CONNECTIONSpending time togetherAsk meaningful questionsBe patientSet aside distractions UNDERSTAND THE SPECIAL ROLE GRANDPARENTS PLAY— offering love, wisdom, and stability across generations. MAKE MEMORIES – create meaningful moments (like storytelling, shared activities, traditions and simple quality time) helps strengthen emotional bonds between grandparents and grandchildren. CAPTURE STORIES WHILE YOU CAN: There’s a focus on interviewing and recording grandparents’ stories — because these memories, once lost, can’t be recreated. Documenting them preserves family history and identity. EVERYDAY MOMENTS COUNT - you don’t need grand gestures — small, everyday experiences (meals, play, chats) become cherished memories as time goes on. LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS - By making and preserving these memories, families create a legacy that grandchildren can revisit, share with future children and treasured legacy after grandparents are gone. Your relationship with Grandchildren and younger relatives is A DYADIC RELATIONSHIP it’s not just about you- it’s not just about lecturing, there’s a back and forth between two people and you can’t always direct it –but you can cherish their perspectives and learn together.
