Active Grandparenting

Redefine Grandparenting with This Modern Guide to Health, Purpose, and Meaningful Family Connection. “A gentle guide to embracing this chapter with intention, vitality, and, of course, joy.” —Dr. Kerry Burnight, gerontologist and New York Times bestselling author of Joyspan Today’s grandparents aren’t sitting on the sidelines. They’re running marathons, mentoring startups, videocalling grandkids across the globe—redefining what it means to be a dynamic contributor to a multi-generational family. Active Grandparenting: A Guide to Modern Family Dynamics, Healthier Habits, and Functional Fitness (With Recipes, Hydration Techniques, Exercises, and More), by Kristen Coffield and Debra Eckerling, helps modern grandparents get fit, energized, and ready to meet this moment in their lives. A chef, women’s wellness expert, and functional fitness advocate, Kristen Coffield is the founder of The Culinary Cure™ and Active Grandparenting™. When she became a grandparent for the second time, Kristen challenged outdated narratives with a simple, powerful video: sitting down on the floor with her grandchild and standing up without using her hands. That reel struck a nerve, racking up millions of views and sparking a wellness-forward movement. Through Active Grandparenting, Kristen is redefining what it means to stay strong, energized, and deeply engaged in one of life’s most meaningful roles. Inspired by Kristen’s best-selling online course and social media presence, Active Grandparenting inspires readers to reclaim their vitality with practical fitness advice, nutrition tips, and delicious recipes; create strong, respectful relationships with their adult children via mastering modern communication and setting healthy boundaries; and focus on high-value activities with their grandchildren that turn into lasting memories. Active Grandparenting is more than a book, it’s a cultural shift. Active Grandparenting isn’t about inserting outdated advice into a modern parenting playbook. Kristen Coffield offers a bold new model: one rooted in wellness, emotional intelligence, and true family impact. Because when grandparents show up energized, prepared, and confident, everybody wins.
