That's where this book comes in, with more than 180 time-tested, enjoyable, and creative activities that stimulate imagination and creativity, and encourage children away from the TV, tablets, and devices. It also offers helpful advice on a wealth of issues that grandparents can face, such as negotiating often delicate family situations, using new technologies, understanding child development, and dealing with the stress of school holidays. It is all there to help you survive and thrive in the vital role of being a modern grandparent.
