A Perfect Book For GRANDparents Who Use Technology
BY CHRISTINE CROSBY
Yes, that headline is a bit of a trick, isn’t it? Of course, we are all using technology in one way or another, but I mean especially smartphones, tablets, and desktops.
We grandparents are busy people with many priorities to tend to, but one of the most important parts of life in this second half of our lives is (you already know the answer if you’re reading this). Yes, our grandchildren.
“Not everyone enters grandparenthood in the same way. Research indicates that nearly 95 percent of older adults with children become grandparents.”
It is with great excitement and profound gratitude that GRAND Magazine presents this special collection
of grandparenting wisdom from the renowned parenting experts, Richard and Linda Eyre.
As grandparents, we understand the transformative joy and unique responsibility of this special role. The GRANDparent Movement represents something compelling—a
collective recognition that grandparents are vital architects in shaping the future of our families and
communities.

According to Webster’s, GRANDPARENTING is defined as the activity of being a grandparent: participation in the life of one’s grandchild as a grandparent.
There was a time when grandparenting was hardly considered “a thing” and grandparents were viewed as a nice addition, but not essential to a child’s development. Now, however, with increased life expectancy, grandparents often have many more years of good health to enjoy their grandchildren and play significant roles in their lives and the lives of their families.
While grandparenting roles vary across cultures worldwide, this e-book offers the experienced voices of Richard and Linda Eyre, who bring decades of wisdom to this important family relationship.
Not everyone enters grandparenthood in the same way. Research indicates that nearly 95 percent of older adults with children become grandparents. Others embrace this role when adult children marry partners who already have children (becoming stepgrandparents), or by informally adopting a grandparent role for children within their family or community circle.
Whatever the family circumstance, becoming a grandparent opens a doorway to new opportunities for connection, mentoring, and passing on values and family identity.
