Chapter 1
"Shake, Rattle and Roll" opens the book by sharing reactions to becoming a grandparent. See the sample chapter below. Chapter 2 "Let It Be" is about providing unconditional acceptance as a special gift of grandparenting. Chapter 3 "96 Tears" offers ideas and suggestions on how to handle crying grandchildren. Chapter 4 "The Purple People Eaters" speaks to the benefit of telling silly, outrageous stories. My grandson prefers my made-up stories to anything I read to him. The more outlandish, the better he likes them. Chapter 5 "Bye Bye Love" tackles the difficult subject of parents splitting up, and the delicate task of staying neutral for the sake of your grandchild. Chapter 6 "Easier Said Than Done" shows how to bond when you don't live just down the street. Long-distance relationships are more common with today's very mobile younger generation. Scheduling trips and frequent mailings and email are critical in building a meaningful grandparenting experience. Chapter 7 "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" recommends playing board games, building tents as forts, swimming, going to the beach, and many other fun activities to build a memorable relationship with grandkids. Chapter 8 "Happy Together" The line, I can't see me lovin' nobody but you says it all. Singing a fun, sweet song creates lasting memories, and this Happy Together is the best. |
