Grandparenting

As a Nana, I'm always looking for ways to connect with my grandkids, as well as share my love for God's Word. Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity. Tucked in with foil-wrapped kisses, stickers, and other holiday trinkets, Valentines can include Bible verses that speak directly to their little hearts.

Your artistic grandson can make a Valentine's Picasso. Your stylish granddaughter can make her own jewelry. They can even make fun food "gifts" to give away. You will find something on this list that your grandchild is bound to love making. So pick a craft or two, set a "play date," and get ready to let the creativity and love flow.

Your parenting styles may likely differ from how your children parent. And that's okay. Everyone does things differently. One thing you never want to do is disagree with your child's parenting style in front of your grandchildren. If there is an issue, set up a time to discuss things in private.
