Synopsis

Grandparenting is both a joy and a huge responsibility. You can have influence and interaction with these little lives without interfering with the parents' role of course. This book can help you make a lasting impact. A professional marriage and family counselor, Dr. Judith Rolfs, author of Secrets To Being A Super Grandparent, adds delightful structure to the grandparent role with this idea-packed book for enriching times together. She says, “It’s easy to miss out if you don’t have a plan.” Secrets To Being A Super Grandparent is full of ideas for conversation topics, life lessons to teach in fun ways, stories to tell to inspire. Grandparents can be a beautiful reflection of God’s unconditional love that grandchildren need. Often parents lack the time and energy to devote as much individual attention to their children as they’d like. The author says: “Grandparents radiate a different view of life through the window of maturity. They can teach this new generation of family to honor God and develop self-esteem without making children arrogant or spoiled. Every grandparent is in a great position to focus on the emotional and spiritual needs of grandchildren.” Many grandparents are involved in physical care of grandchildren but need to meet emotional and spiritual needs of little ones also. Time with grandchildren may be occasional visits or daily involvement - long distance tips are included also. You can teach grandchildren to become responsible, loving human beings and help grandchildren develop a sense of wonder that stays vibrant. Secrets To Being A Super Grandparent guides grandparents with fun activities during this delightful stage of life. Grandparents, here’s how!

About this title

About the Author

The author, Dr. Judith Rolfs, has been a licensed marriage and family counselor for twenty-five years. She's written numerous books on family topics and is passionate about enriching family life. 

Dr. Rolfs observed parenting and grandparenting from many perspectives. As a grandparent of seven, she's had  family experience and teaches helpful strategies that can help you nurture and connect with your grandchildren. 

Rolfs says, "The role of being an involved grandparent has great benefits. Children bring the aspect of constant wonder and newness to your life. They actually keep adults balanced more gracefully in their own lives."

Huge changes occurred in your lifetime from the first moon steps to personal computers in the home and email from cyberspace. Your grandchildren are often wired or connected electronically during many hours of their free time. How to manage this positively is essential.

Rolfs'  book helps with emotional and spiritual needs as well. Some grandparents remove themselves from grandchildren because they're not sure how to interact. Exactly what can they do together? It's easy to miss out on the joyful time with grandchildren if you don't have a plan for what you'll do and talk about together. Secrets To Being A Super Grandparent provides this in a fun format.

You can intensify each moment together and teach creative, thoughtful, life principles. This is the legacy of living you want to impart to grandchildren. It's challenging to connect with grandchildren separated by several states or living in another countries. Rolfs' practical solutions can enable long distance grandparents to impact grandchildren across the miles.  They really work!

Keeping your own relational lives calm and and balanced physically, emotionally & spiritually models what you want for your grandchildren. Dr. Judith Rolfs motto for grandparenting is: Enjoy and guide every precious grandchild in your life!
