Kids and grandparents sometimes speak a different language (literally and figuratively)
Can you relate?
The kids are glued to their screen and don't always want to spend time with their grandparent. The grandparent wants to share their legacy with their grandchild, yet they struggle to connect.
When you and I help our kids develop a closer relationship with their grandparents, we honor our parents. But how do you we make this happen?
Here are three steps you can take to help young and old develop a stronger connection:
Step 1: Get the Grandkid Investigator Kit
This is a tool made specifically to get the grandkids curious about their grandparents.
Step 2: Assign a mission. Start with Operation Launch.
Assign your child the first mission. Initial resistance may occur but once you get them to do the first mission, here's where it gets fun.
Step 3: Watch your child discover new insights about their grandparent.
Watch grandparents beam and ask if there are any more missions (There are 12!) Assign another mission.
