The Grandparent class was a nice refresher. The class brought back memories from 30 years ago when my son was just a baby. I especially enjoyed the helping vs helpful session, because it explained how I should communicate with my daughter-in-law. The stress buffer and stress amplifier concepts helped me understand how to interact and when to provide advice.
