Help Children Understand Why Grandparents Are Family Treasures

If your children have grown up with grandparents around, they are truly lucky. Grandparents are repositories of memories and details of a bygone era and as such are often treasure troves of information for younger generations. Encourage lively discourse between the older and younger generations of your family. Teach your children why their grandparents are so special. Encourage them to do an oral history project, interviewing their grandparents for true stories about growing up in a different time (and possibly place) in the world.
