Off My Rocker: Grandparenting Ain't What It Used to Be

by Gracie Malone

Are you prepared for one of the most rewarding challenges of your life? Grandparenting ain’t what it used to be––now that’s an understatement. Today’s grandparents often work full-time, care for their own aging parents, love to travel and hobby, and don’t have enough time for all the events in their palm pilot. So how does one become a loving, doting, giving grandparent? Your · I grew up in a whole different world and raised my kids in a different time––how can I relate to my grandkids? · How can I have fun with my grandchildren and yet teach them time-honored values? · Is it possible to help my kids be parents without interfering? · How can I teach these little ones about Jesus? · What can I do to prepare––physically, emotionally, and spiritually––for child-sitting? You’re not "off your rocker" to think you can do this. Gracie Malone––mother, grandmother, author, speaker, and now encourager to you––shares light-hearted lessons to make your grandparenting experience easier, more rewarding, and, well, downright fun!

Loved Gracie’s ABC scripture book she made for her youngest son. You can tell Gracie loves her family. She offers practical and loving ideas for topics such as: gift giving, not showing favoritism and making memories, to name a few.
