We hope you have a great summer.^th Enjoy it with your grandchildren53405.

 

 

About Racine Kin Connection members:  There are numerous reasons why we came to this point in our lives. Our marital status may vary.  We may have reared a small or large family, or this may be our first time at parenting. Hopefully we can connect with each other and gain insight that will help us in our child rearing at an older age. 

 

I hope this site and the upcoming support group serves as a way to help us all enjoy this special responsibility of parenting again.

 

 

 

My Precious Grandchild                                                                                     

L.J. Myers

Small and sweet with eyes that shine

Blessed be this precious gift of mine

Ten tiny fingers,  Ten such tiny toes

You shall never know a life of woes

Your life I will hold as I do my own

As Jesus does protect your soul

with my prayers each night "Thy Will Be Done"

new life you have given though to small to comprehend

Scars from the past you have accomplished to mend

Smiles with hope to be carried on shoulders so small and fragile

Never to worry,  for I will carry them for you my Precious Grandchild

History Of Racine Kin Connection:

 

.

History:

I was a single Grandmother raising  grandchildren.  As I searched for information about older adults raising younger relatives, I found myself spending hours in search of information. I book marked the sites as I found them and sent away for material from AARP.  When I got done, I began looking for a support group close to my hometown. Unfortunately I could not find any active ones, so decided to begin making a journal of the book marked sites that I found and eventually made this web site.

kin (kn)   
NOUN: (used with a pl. verb) One's relatives; family; kinfolk.

 

I have always had a good relationship with all my Grandchildren. I believe this is in part to the way my own Grandparents interacted with me and the rest of their Grandchildren.  They always made time for us, played, read, grew gardens, baked with us, had picnics, enriched our lives, showed us how to care about others and gave us so many happy memories.

 

During a study at Community Church Of The Nazarene, we were doing a study on the book A Purpose Driven Life.  The section on ministries especially caught my attention.  It told us to think about what talents we have and how we could put them to use for others. On a Sunday toward the end of our study they held a sign up for ministries.  One table was for new ideas.  I wrote down about my idea for starting a support group in Racine for Grandparents raising Grandchildren. 

 

I work at a Medical Center in Racine and part of our Mission there  is to help others in the community and to show others that we respect them as a person.  

 

These incentives gave me the courage to set my idea in motion and begin looking for a meeting place. A few church friends heard me speak about it and prayed for my success in starting a support group.

 

I was at  a Thanksgiving Dinner at Next Generation Now and met Mary Jane Landry, who heads it. We spoke and she was a very helpful person and said that her organization had the resources available to help me start a group. She set up a meeting with Diane Gautsch, herself and I for the next week. We shared our ideas.  Diane had a group several years ago and thought of some things that I had missed.  I was excited that we could use the Racine Kin Connection name that I had created for my website. The result of all this is a local support group for older adults raising their relatives under 18 yrs old.  Our first meeting was held in January 2005. Since then we have had speakers on a variety of subjects and have had some good private sharing and caring sessions as well. We are small and growing and hope others will come to our meetings and share their experiences with us. We can help each other out in so many ways.

 

2007:  My Grandchildren are now living with their mother.  They are learning to be a family again and I am happy that their parents are able to be more involved with their lives again.  I enjoyed the years that I had them and would do it over again in a heart  beat.  We stay in touch by phone, emails, mail and visits. I am still their “G-Ma” and we enjoy talking about “old times” and their new adventures. For now I will continue to run this website, for others that need resources and continue with our Monthly meetings

Upcoming Meeting Dates and Information:

 

Sept 11^th 2007 Interactive meeting.

 

Speakers from local organizations have given us information on a variety of important subjects. We hope to continue our speaker program in 2007-2008.  We also thank all those that have volunteered their time to share their knowledge with us.

 

The purpose of this support group is to create an effective, warm, non-judgmental atmosphere where members can:

v     talk about our unique challenges in a group setting

v     give support and encouragement to each other

v     come together to share coping strategies and discuss feelings

v     have guest speakers on a variety of beneficial topics

v     socialize and make new friends

v     Offer an opportunity for the children to socialize with others in similar circumstances

As unique older adults, a few of the things we may have in common are: 

·        Help in making the transition to the responsibilities of being a parent figure in the lives of the children.

·        Helping the children deal emotionally with the absent parent/parents.

·        Our retirement plans may have to be altered or put on hold.

·        Our friends, for the most part, have the freedom to come and go as they wish.  We may not have that luxury anymore.

·        Some of our older friends or relatives may not be able to connect to us in our parenting roles or they may even question why we have taken this responsibility upon ourselves.

·        We are in the situation of locating safe childcare providers. In some instances we may be restricted to only use licensed or pre-approved child care persons.

·        The friends of our children usually have younger parents with lifestyles or interests that differ from our own . This may cause difficulties when interacting with them.

·        If the children have changed schools/neighborhoods, they now have to make new friends.

·        We have to help the children cope with questions from their peers about why they don’t live with their parents.

·        We may have questions on school interactions such as how to fill out paperwork, working with school counselors, PTA groups, how to read report cards , and filling in field trip authorizations.

·        We need to brush up on information and relearn the new teaching ways, in order to effectively help the children with homework.

·        Our financial situations may change and we may  help with finding programs to ease our budgets.

·        We are faced with making medical decisions for the children and may need help in locating resources.
