Product Description
I think that the sub-title of my book, Ideas on How to Have Fun with Your Grandchildren, reveals what the book is about. As grandmother-friends shared in conversation their stories of unique and interesting things they were doing with their grandchildren, I felt that these ideas needed to be shared with others. When I was a parent, I tried to read every good book I could find on parenting, but I could find no "how-to" books for grandmothers. Now that I was finally a grandmother, I wanted to know how to be a good one! I interviewed many very creative grandmothers from various parts of the country. They shared the joy of being a grandmother and memories of their own grandmothers, which are quite touching. I asked them for their best ideas for play-time and story-time with their grandchildren. As a teacher, I wanted to know how they might encourage a love for reading and learning, in general. How did they celebrate holidays and birthdays with them? What were some tips for traveling with them? I wanted to know how "long-distance" grandmothers kept in touch. I wanted to know what they did to help their precious ones develop a relationship with their Creator. Although my initial purpose in writing this book was to help grandmothers, including myself, find ways to have fun with their grandchildren - providing ideas for all kinds of activities we can do with them and learning about resources for toys, books, games, etc. - I believe that the key to being a positive force in the lives of our grandchildren is not in "what we do", but instead in "who we are" when we are with them. I don't know that I have unique qualifications for writing this book. I am just a grandmother who enjoys writing, but I hope that the ideas in this book will help other grandmothers (grandparents) know how to help their grandchildren become the best that they can be - how to fulfill the purpose God has for their lives.

Great suggestions and insight for Grandparenting

Toni Stone offers top quality suggestions and insight for grandparents who want to create lasting memories in the lives of their grandchildren. Her suggestions are realistic and transcend all styles and economic levels of families. My favorite chapter is on sharing holidays. One of the last chapters contains very helpful suggestions for age-suitable children's reading and another has suggestions for age-appropriate toys and games. Great reading for new Grandparents - and it would make a great gift.
