Hey guys, Jeff, back here again. Okay, if you're listening to this, that means our crazy sales are still going on for the holiday week and weekend. So family teams.com slash holiday sale and we're doing three insane packages. Some of them, I think you can save like $300. The family team starter kit, we're giving you like free books, a free calendar. It's just

crazy. Seriously, we want to hook you guys up. This is the week to do it. You can buy it as gifts,

buy it for yourself, buy it and parse it all up for some for you, some for friends. But

family teams.com slash holiday seal. Check it out. But I think the question is just, are you even pursuing it? Is that ideal?

Because so many of us usually do the opposite. We turn our backs and run.

What's up guys? Jeff and Jeremy here. Another episode of five minute fatherhood. A topic we

want to chat about or a challenge we have for you today is, are you preparing to be near your future grandchildren? Now, of course, this isn't possible for every single person. But again, there's these things where are we planning? Are we preparing? Is there an ideal that we're pointed towards? And then we let the chips fall where they may. So preparing to be near your future grandchildren. Jeremy, I'm interested to hear

what you think, why this is important, what the point is. If there's any data here, I know you have an article here in the notes, but I'm trying to think of that other one that we posted in five-minute fatherhood a couple months ago where there's, yeah, there is data to support even like, you know, if a grandmother's around, I don't think it was talking about even being, you know, living there, But if a grandmother's in your home more, that does things to like your kids' mental health,

that does thing to the mom's mental health and sustainability and flourishing and all these different things. So there's a lot, this conversation is bubbling up, which is really fascinating. But yeah, what would you say on this one? Yeah, guys, when we talk about the importance of the Bible really articulating a vision a family that is multi-generational. When we say that,

we're saying that God designed it so that the generations will interact. And we live in a culture

that just does not value that very much. If you see your grandparents three or four times a year,

we're like, that's cool, that's good enough. And for some families, we get it, like maybe

at the upstream generations,

things aren't super healthy. But every one of us can be thinking about going downstream.

Is it in our heads, in our hearts, in our vision that we want to be around our grandchildren?

And do we want to be really presenting that vision? And so I love it when I see data sort of like

trying to research the impact of this.

And, you know, it says, so the University of Oxford, Professor Buchanan did a case study of

1600 children between the ages of 11 and 16.

And that says that growing up with grandparents who live nearby provides greater security

in respect to those children who only grow up with their parents.

This is some of what this describes.
