Editorial Reviews

Review
Anyone who thinks mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law cannot work together has not read Grandloving. Sue Johnson and her daughter-in-law Julie Carlson, both early childhood educators, have written an extremely helpful book for enriching relationships between children and their grandparents. You will want to keep this book handy for quick reference when your "grands" visit you or when you visit them. -- Mature Living, Mary Paschall Darby, February 1999

Editor's Note: Boy, grandparents everywhere will have a ball with Grandloving! Only 10 pages into the book and I was "hooked." This is a fun, down-to-earth collection of easy, inexpensive ways to show your grandchildren how much you love them. There are lots of "thoughts" specific to a grandparent. This would make a great gift for grandparents - or buy one for yourself, Grandma! -- Farm and Dairy, Marcy Todd, October 28, 1999

Grandloving is a thoughtful treasure to give to new grandparents or even to those who have years of grandparenting under their belts. If you are already a grandparent, or are a grandparent-to-be, don't wait for someone to buy it for you; the book will be both a wonderful treat and useful guidebook for yourself and your grandchildren. -- Parentpages, Donna Bell, September 1999

Grandloving offers more than 200 innovative and inexpensive activities for grandparents and their grandchildren that will foster and enhance a close familial bond between the generations. By using these ideas and suggestions grandfathers and grandmothers (and uncles and aunts) can literally make life-long memories that will be cherished. Indeed, will inspire the children when they eventually mature into being grandparents themselves one day. -- The Midwest Book Review, James A. Cox, March 1999

Johnson and Carlson have written a peppy, upbeat blueprint to building a good grandparent-parent-grandchild relationship from both near and far. -- Central California Parent, Wendy Taylor Carroll, September 1999 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book with lots of great ideas for grandparents., November 19, 1999
This book covers the gamut when it comes to finding fun things to do with children. Because my new grandson is 800 miles away, I especially liked all of the long-distance grandparenting ideas. I would recommend it to anyone, mothers and fathers as well as grandparents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tips and training, e.g. how to talk to a toddler!, October 20, 1999
I found GRANDLOVING a treasury of tips and suggestions, and not only for grandparents! Aunts, uncles, friends, teachers, childless former college roommates -- all of us who want to connect with kids and bridge the generations -- need its help! The authors are gentle, humorous instructors who show us how to slow down and focus on details for "toddler talk"... why a megaforce Hello Hug may bring tears instead of kisses... why to wear slouchy sweats and "get down" where kids really live and play -- on the rug. With this book's advice and its easy-to-engineer activities, crafts and gifts, we are truly ready for "Funlove" between grown-ups and children.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Now in a revised and expanded second edition, Grandloving: Making Memories With Your Grandchildren is more effective than ever as a compendium of tips, ideas and suggestions for grandparents to bond with their grandchildren.

Enthusiastically recommended for grandparents of any age or circumstance, Grandloving's engaging, "reader friendly" text is enhanced with reminders about child development, an extensive list of resources, helpful logos, and an easy-to-use index.
