Parashat Vayera begins with Avraham running to welcome three mysterious guests. He prepares food, creates comfort, sets a table, gives his whole heart. And the angels barely speak in return. This week I share the story of Ana, a grandmother I am coaching. Her son asked on Friday if his family could come for Shabbat. She ran through her house to get everything ready. The cooking, the beds, the toys, the small details. She worked so hard to welcome them, just like Avraham, but she still worried that the connection with her granddaughters was not as strong as she hoped. Most grandparents know this feeling. You give so much. You prepare so carefully. And sometimes the children barely talk. Or seem distracted. Or just float in and out. In this episode I share research from Alison Wood Brooks and her book TALK: The science of conversation and the art of being ourselves. Two simple steps can give grandparents more confidence: choose Topics in advance and ask thoughtful Questions. I will also share my “18 Topics to Open Conversation” resource that I use in Grand Plan coaching. These prompts can help you get your grandkids talking in ways that feel natural and connected. Avraham’s quiet encounter with the angels still changes the future. Small gestures can have huge impact. Your presence and effort matter more than you know.
