The benefits of a strong grandchild/grandparent relationship include learning about their family history and experiencing unconditional love. Research indicates that grandchildren who have had quality contacts with their grandparents through their early years have overall better social development and strong emotional growth into adulthood. Furthermore, grandparents that regularly spend quality time with their grandchildren report that their overall well-being improves. It's really that simple.

The granddaughters make the moments really count when they visit their Papa Trouble in northern Wisconsin. They "teach" Papa Trouble new games, how to use his cell phone. and even how to enjoy the Internet. They "learn" so much about life from Papa Trouble through games, joint projects, solving riddles. and endless questions.

This book includes several ideas and templates for grandchildren and grandparents to adapt to their own situations.
