Grandparents Rock Technology

February 25, 2026 by NJArch Staff

Grandparents Rock Technology!

Grandparents raising grandchildren use technology every day to support their families, from school portals and telehealth to staying connected with loved ones. Thanks to life experience, patience, and strong problem-solving skills, many grandparents’ approach technology thoughtfully and with purpose.

Rather than rushing, grandparents tend to learn systems fully, protect their privacy, and use digital tools to strengthen real relationships. These strengths make technology a support, not a barrier, in caregiving.

At KinKonnect, we see grandparents using technology to advocate, organize, and stay connected for the children in their care. Your skills and persistence matter and they make a real difference.

For more information, check out the article: “Why Grandparents Are Secretly Better at Technology Than You Think, “Written by Scott Grant, September 23, 2025:  https://mediafeed.org/why-grandparents-are-secretly-better-with-tech-than-you-think/
