I am of the volition that we Caring Grandparents will create new and effective ways to reach out to our Grandkids. My message to them is Calm and Common Sense.

Another thing I am practicing is to stay meaningfully engaged in building community. In addition to this blog one of the ways my son Chuck and I are staying engaged and modeling for the kids is by sharing on our Caring Grandparents Facebook page. Here is today's entry.
