P50 Sensory Gating in Infants

Abstract:
An expectant grandparents class was initiated in an attempt to bridge the communication gap observed between new parents and grandparents. Rather than focus on "how to grandparent," the goal of the class was to acquaint grandparents with changes in maternity and pediatric practices so that the grandparents might understand the parenting framework from which their daughter or son operated. Thus, tension might be reduced between the generations and support encouraged. More than 200 grandparents attended. A description of class content and grandparent response, which can be used as a guide for establishing classes, is provided.
