This is one terrific book! The subtitle says it all: "Making Memories with Your Grandchildren: a world away...or next door."
This book won the National Parenting Publications Gold Award, and was selected as "Outstanding" by the Parent Council.
For anyone who has grandchildren living somewhere else (as I do--over 2000 miles away!), this is one terrific book!
The authors quote: "Grandparenting is a gift between two people at opposite ends of their journey." Alex Haley said, "Grandparents...sprinkle stardust in our eyes." If your desire is to bridge the distance from your heart to your grandchild's, here's a book to help.
It's full of ideas galore: how to keep in touch when they're out of reach; how to make their visit to your home enriching and memorable; how to make your visit to theirs restful and fun.
Do you need ideas for crafts? Plenty here! Do you need creative ways to keep in touch by mail? Peek inside. Almost 300 pages of creative help, with extensive lists of books for children (and for grandparents!). A good index makes finding that gem you came across last week findable again.
I like this book. It's motivating and it's practical.
