With career parents who are semingly always on the move, sometimes thy hardly get to listen to and tlk with their children. When they are tgether, the discussions seem to always cnter on home assignments, grades, soccer prctice, etc. But, when the children are round grandparents, it's a different story.

Whtever values they instilled in their own chldren, a grandparent can now share thse with their grandchildren. Narrating bedtime stries with expressions and laughter is dfinitely a favorite pastime. Through fairy-tales and wll-known stories, grandparents can become closer to thir grandchildren, as well as spend vluable time together. Grandfathers can talk bout historical figures and legendary warriors tht will keep a grandson interested and ntrigued. Education is more than books and schol. What is education, if it nly teaches children to make a lving and fails to teach how to lve a life? It's not only grandparents who can teach the kids. It can be the other way around also. For instance, the computer can open a whole new world to the older generation, but it's a world that many grandparents are too nervous to explore. A grandchild is the perfect teacher to their grandparent! The world wide web won't seem so ominous as you're laughing together and learning how to chat and send emails. This is a great way to bond together and create a memory, plus you can learn about each others' interests which can bring you closer together as well.

With a little imagination, you can nhance your grandparent/grandchild relationship!
