Active Grandparenting: Energize your Life, Redefine Your Role, and Grandparent with Purpose
Autor Kristen Coffield, Debra Eckerlingen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2026
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 101: Energize your Life, Redefine your Role and Grandparent with Purpose, 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 When she became a grandparent for the second time, Kristen challenged outdated narratives with a simple, powerful video: sitting down on the floor with her grandchild and standing up without using her hands.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 101 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 101 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 Active Grandparenting isn’t about inserting outdated advice into a modern parenting playbook.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.

Recenzii
Praise for Active Grandparenting
“At Woman’s Day, we believe the smallest moments often make the biggest memories. Active Grandparenting by Kristen Coffield beautifully captures how the time, love, and attention grandparents give today become the family stories treasured for generations.” —Meaghan B. Murphy, editor-in-chief, Woman’s Day; author, Your Fully Charged Life
“One of the great misconceptions about aging is that our most meaningful contributions are behind us. Active Grandparenting reframes this stage as a powerful opportunity to redirect our wisdom, energy, and attention toward the next generation. Kristen Coffield shows that becoming a grandparent is about stepping into the role of a modern elder, where curiosity and experience work hand in hand. If midlife is about focusing on what matters most, this book makes a compelling case that few investments are more meaningful than the relationships we help shape.”
— Chip Conley, author of Learning to Love Midlife & The Midlife Manifesto
“As editor-in-chief of The Pro Age Woman Magazine, I had the privilege of working with Kristen Coffield, whose expertise as a wellness lifestyle coach for women over fifty—and as an accomplished chef—inspired our readers to embrace vibrant living at every stage of life. In Active Grandparenting, Kristen captures the true spirit of the Pro-Age movement, reminding us that this chapter of life isn’t about slowing down but about staying relevant, connected, and deeply engaged with the next generation. This book will resonate with modern grandparents who want to remain active, vital, and truly present in the lives of their children and grandchildren. Kristen is an important voice in the Pro-Age movement, showing us that the later chapters of life can be among our most meaningful and fulfilling.” —Meri Frischman, editor-in-chief, The Pro-Age Woman eMagazine
"There’s something for everyone in this clear and engaging book, even for those fortunate to already have a positive relationship with their children and grandchildren. Kristen is leading a movement redefining what the grandparent years can be—not a slowing down, but a meaningful expansion into connection, energy, and purpose.
As a mother and daughter team at Movement Living, we’ve experienced how powerful it is when grandmothers stay active and engaged. There’s something profoundly reassuring for a daughter to witness her mother thriving—and something equally meaningful for a grandmother to feel capable, connected, and needed in a new way.
Active Grandparenting is more than wellness—Kristen offers a refreshing vision of 'third act living,' reminding us that some of life’s most important roles are still ahead of us."—Gabriela Schonbach & Amanda Giannakos, cofounders, Movement Living
