About The Book
BENEFITS OF GRANDPARENTING GRANDCHILDREN BOOK
Combining the authors’ practical experience as childhood development professionals with the latest international research into the brain, the Grandparenting Grandchildren book helps you to understand the key influences on healthy development in your grandchild’s first 5 years: movement, music, sleep and food.
It then gives practical advice on how to effectively integrate these ‘super brain foods’ into your grandchild’s life.
The benefits include improving their ability to think creatively, building speech and language skills, promoting social skills, and driving curiosity.
Why readers should read the Grandparenting Grandchildren Book
Grandparents often have questions about how best to support and care for their grandchildren, especially when their grandchildren are quite different from their own children.
Grandparenting Grandchildren is an easy-to-read practical guide to the 21st century child, giving ideas to grandparents that will help their grandchildren develop skills necessary for the lives they are going to be leading. Each chapter of the Grandparenting Grandchildren book is designed to help you understand the ‘what, why and when’ of the topic, followed by the ‘how’.
These are the practical ideas, games, activities and solutions that grandparents can use at home for the different age groups - babies under 12 months, toddlers to 3 years and pre-schoolers.
What readers will learn
Children need to be creative problem solvers, but so do the people caring for them. Learn to build a loving, supportive relationship that helps your grandchild feel positive about their future, while constructing essential life skills that ensure they become happy, capable, confident learners.
Grandparenting Grandchildren not only provides new information and activity ideas that you can easily implement at home, it is a fun read that draws you back to nostalgic moments and learning with your own, or other children.
Who the Grandparenting Grandchildren book would be perfect for
Grandparenting Grandchildren is the perfect book for every person involved with children in their formative years, and while written with grandparents in mind, it is really for anyone interested in updating or expanding their knowledge in the area of young children’s development.
