Best Grandad

 

 

 

 

The best gift you can give your grandkids isn’t stuff—it’s you.

No spam. All useful.

Less pixels. More play.
Less swipe. More swing.
We believe play isn’t a luxury—it’s the launchpad for healthy humans who can handle life in the modern world.

Grandads have a lifetime of wisdom, patience, and love to offer—and in a world of screens, schedules, and distractions, our role has never been more important. 

đźź  If governments ban social media for under-16s, how do we fill the void?
🟠 If children aren’t safe in the childcare system, can we create a safer circle around them?
đźź  If we treat the sound of children playing as a nuisance, what kind of future are we building?

Best Grandad is here to help fill that gap—with presence and play.
And in showing up for them, we become better men through community, connection, and purpose.

Change who you are. Change who they become. 

Why Now?

 

“Children Not Welcome”

How we’re designing kids out of public life.
From kid-free cruises to "no ball games" signs in housing estates, we’re treating childhood like a nuisance instead of a necessity. As adult-only spaces expand, children are pushed further to the margins. But play is loud. Messy. Vital. A society intolerant of children is one that forgets it was built by them.

 

“A Bill for Your Grandkids”

How national debt is a tax on the unborn.
We’re passing unsustainable debt onto future generations while celebrating short-term gains. And while today's leaders may dodge accountability, the burden is quietly transferred to the youngest among us. Loving your kids means leaving them something better, not bills they didn’t ask for.

 

“Bubble Wrap & Blind Spots”

We swaddle kids in the real world and abandon them in the digital one.
We panic over scraped knees but hand them smartphones with no safety net. Offline, we hover. Online, we disappear. Real love means preparing kids for both playgrounds and platforms. Right now, we’re failing at both.

 

“The Fragile Frontline”

When the care economy cracks, kids pay the price.
Private equity dominates childcare in Australia, cutting corners to boost profits. Scandals highlight the cost of a broken system. If children aren’t safe in the care we outsource, perhaps it’s time to reimagine care as a community responsibility—one grandparents can help meet.

 

“The Other Retirement Crisis”

It’s not about money—it’s about meaning.
Millions of men leave the workforce and lose more than a paycheck—they lose purpose. But what if the next great job was in the backyard, not the boardroom? Best Grandad offers men a way to reconnect, contribute, and matter again.

 

“Boys Without a Map”

We tore up the script for manhood—and forgot to replace it.
Young men are falling behind emotionally, academically, and socially. They’re told to reject traditional masculinity but given no new direction. Boys don’t become men by accident. They need role models, rites of passage, and real relationships. Grandads can help show the way.

 

“The Vanishing Coach”

Where do boys go when the whistle goes silent?
Male coaches and mentors are disappearing from schools and sports. The collapse of informal guidance networks leaves boys adrift. We don’t just need more coaching—we need new coaches. Grandads included. 

Best Grandad is a movement to reclaim what matters most.
We don’t need more algorithms. We need more adults who care. Presence and play aren’t luxuries—they’re how we build resilient kids and renewed men. The kids are not alright. But we can step up and help change that.
