The book I wrote for you.
Being a faraway grandmother is tough – and I got no advice from family or friends because they didn’t have grandkids far away. Somehow, I have muddled through, and I’m happy to report that I have strong and loving relationships with my four grandchildren. Such joy!
Long-distance grandparenting takes more than love. It takes a plan. I’m happy to share my advice, ideas and suggestions with you so you can connect with your grandchildren. Remember, you don’t have to miss out on their childhood, or settle for an occasionally phone call or birthday card.
“You can be one of the most important people in your grandchild’s life… even if you live a long distance away.”
The book for grandparents of newborns through Age 12, full of ideas, advice, stories, understanding, and winning ways to video chat.
