Your heart aches for your grandchildren, even if you don't get many chances to see them in person. You deeply want them to know how much God loves them, to grow in their relationship with him, and to make wise, God-honoring decisions. The good news is, just because you can't spend as much time with them as you'd like, that doesn't mean you can't have a huge impact on their lives! In Long-Distance Grandparenting you'll learn how to make the most of the opportunities you do have to connect with your grandchildren, including using technology to keep your relationship strong and taking advantage of the time you have together. But going beyond your relationship with your grandkids, this book emphasizes something that matters even more--your grandchild's relationship with God. Find the encouragement and guidance to connect with your grandchildren and invest in their faith like never before!

According to an AARP survey, 45 percent of grandparents report that the primary barrier to seeing their grandchildren is the physical distance that separates them. Yet, the desire to communicate is strong. Janet Teitsort, a long-distance grandma herself, comes to the rescue with a year's worth of ideas to remain close even when the miles divide. Among her numerous ideas are art projects, recipes, and simple gifts that keep hearts knitted together. Whether children are toddlers or collegiates, Teitsort offers a cornucopia of connection possibilities including a strong recommendation for grandparents to embrace technology with ideas involving audiotape, videotape, email, and the internet. As the grandparent population swells with Baby Boomers, this book is truly timely.

Grandparenting is one of the greatest joys in life. Most “grandboomers” are young, active, and anxious to be involved in the lives of their grandchildren. However, grandparenting in the twenty-first century is often complicated by long distances, family breakups, and remarriage. Based on solid evidence from the experts combined with inspirational – and sometimes funny – real-life stories from grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, Intentional Grandparenting provides readers with ten child-centred principles to guide their decision-making as modern grandparents. At the heart this approach is the notion of intentional grandparenting, a process for planning ahead and taking deliberate action to be the kind of grandparent you want to be. The authors identify the challenges and offer practical, parent-friendly advice to help boomers become happy and effective grandparents. Written in an accessible and engaging style, Intentional Grandparenting is at once entertaining and informative.

Long-distance grandparenting means a lot of lost opportunities to experience the joy of each special new day, each new growth stage, each new accomplishment of our beloved grandchildren. But distance in miles does not have to mean distance in feelings. There are ways to build close relationships that do not depend on living down the block. This guide for long-distance grandparents is a great source of information and inspiration for those grandparents who live far from their grandchildren and who hope to be more than just occasional visitors and long-distance gift givers at holiday time. Author and teacher Selma Wassermann shares her many helpful ideas for staying in touch: using the telephone, the written word, family stories, photographs, and the tremendous potential of the Internet to show how close bonds are forged, even across long distances. Included, also, are suggestions for distant grandchildren with special needs and abilities, information about travelling with grandchildren, and home visits. She also has compassionate advice for grandparents on such tough topics as the death of a grandparent, rebellious teens, and family favoritism.
