The Magic Grandmother

This book is written for women who want to be more than just a grandmother. But please understand one thing --- this is not about taking over --- or ‘trying’ to take over your grandchildren’s lives. It’s not about giving advice to their parents on child rearing. Or trying to tell everyone what is best for the child. Things like how much sleep a baby should get --- what foods are best --- what clothes are suitable --- which schools are good --- when they should date ---what college they should go to, etc, etc, etc are things that should be decided by your grandchildren’s parents --- not you.

This book is about trying to make the times you spend with your grandchildren ‘magic’. All the ideas in this book may not work for you. A lot depends on your personality --- mainly your ability to think like a child – to put yourself in their place and remember what used to bring the magic to your childhood. Also the ages and sex of your grandchildren will make a difference in what works and what doesn’t. But what the heck! Give it a try and you might make a few magic moments happen.
