Helping ParentsThe start of the school year is a stressful and expensive time for parents, too! We’ve got tips on how grandparents can help in Celebrating Your Grandchild’s New School Year. A child’s thin and tender skin burns far more quickly and easily than an adult’s. Read What Grandparents Need to Know About Burn Prevention to make sure it doesn’t happen to your grandchild. Gift IdeasGrandparents can help ease the fears about starting a new school by sharing one of these picture books about starting school. Some of them address common fears, some give behind-the-scenes peeks, some share what the day will look like from the child’s point of view. From funny to touching, there’s a back-to-school story for every grandchild here. The grandkids loved these stacking rocks on their recent visit. Not only did they love seeing who could build the highest tower, they quickly decided the smallest ones were unicorn eggs! We are still finding them in cozy corners of the house—perhaps they’ll hatch if we leave them there??? Looking for more ideas for what to buy for your grandchildren or their parents?
