Mothers and fathers have had their days. On Sep. 7, it’s the grandma and grandpa’s turn. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed a proclamation<\/u><\/a> dedicating the first Sunday after Labor Day to celebrate grandparents. It’s a day to recognize the wisdom, perspective and fundamental civic values that grandparents provide.<\/p>\n

This year, NPR wants to hear from grandparents who are new to their role. Have you just become a grandparent, or are you expecting your first grandchild soon? Share your experience with us, and you could be featured in an upcoming issue of the Up First <\/em>newsletter.<\/p>\n
