Does the word "grandparent" make you think of rocking chairs and knitting - or working, traveling, and downloading the latest apps? Grandparenting has changed, but the desire to stay connected to upcoming generations and leave a legacy has not. Howard discusses how baby-boomer grands can find new ways to pass along their wisdom, wit, and faith. 238 pages, softcover from Waterbrook.

Publisher's Description

A guide to grandparenting with purpose and fun--in the age of smart phones and social media.

Grandparenting may be different today, but it still can be meaningful and fun for both the kids and the adults. Today's grandparent needs to understand technology--how it mesmerizes grandchildren but also enhances the opportunities to connect and share life experiences. And while many of the roles grandparents play in the lives of grandchildren have changed, their most important role of influencing with wisdom, faith, and fun remains the same. The author addresses topics relevant to all grandparents and also looks at the challenges of grandchildren living in single parent or blended families. Also included are stories from the author's journey with her own grandchildren--including Duck Dynasty's Sadie Robertson.

Editorial Reviews

"The influence of grandparents in the lives of their ’grands’ is largely a matter of what they make of the opportunity to be steady sources of godly wisdom and counsel.
