Their is something special about the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. It's two generations bonding together and learning exciting and fun things. It touches the inner heart just observing the bond. Building a strong relationship with your grandchildren is worth more than any wealth. It's true what they say "money can't buy happiness." It really can't take the place of the joy and love that surrounds those grandchildren. That's why spending time with them is so very important. Just by reading to them or even playing a game with them creates a connection that can't be removed or replaced. Improve that bond by spending more time with your grandchildren. Do some exciting fun activities with them like cooking, reading a book to them, or just taking a fun walk in the park. The feeling of being together will last forever and will always be remembered.
Some of my best grandchild memories involve putting together puzzles, playing card games, taking walks and going to the playground. These activities are almost free, but I'm fairly sure my grandchildren will remember them for a long time. I also remind them of the times that we have had good times together, so that those times will stay fresh in their memories. "Remember when we saw a turtle right there by the side of the road and we picked it up to keep it from being run over!" "Remember finding the tadpoles in the ditch!" "Remember how much you loved to build with blocks!" Photos help them remember, too, and they shouldn't be reserved for special occasions. I try to take photos every time my grands come to my house.
