This newly revised edition of the popular guide for long distance grandparents will be a great source of information and inspiration for the many grandparents who live far away from their grandchildren but want to be more than just occasional visitors and holiday gift-givers. Grandparents, no matter how far away they live, can and should be important in the lives of their grandchildren. This relationship can be one of the most important in the lives of both generations and The Long Distance Grandmother will help you forge those ties.
Author and acclaimed teacher Selma Wassermann was among the first people to recognize the phenomenon of long distance grandparents and the first to write about it. Her experiences as a grandmother living hundreds of miles away from her two grandsons led her to devise myriad simple and creative ways to build close bonds. She used the telephone, the written word, small gifts, photographs and more recently, the tremendous potential of the Internet to develop wonderful relationships with her grandsons.
In this new edition, Wassermann shares her many helpful ideas for staying in touch and includes a great deal of new information on using the World Wide Web and e-mail to develop connections with distant grandkids. Wassermann includes thoughtful suggestions for distant grandchildren with special needs or abilities and new information on traveling with grandchildren. She also has compassionate advice for worried grandparents on such tough topics as the death of a grandparent, rebellious teens, and family favoritism. Her candid advice on how to avoid the pitfalls of being a visiting grandparent will help make visits happy and successful.
