I am a journalist with an assignment from a Florida paper to do an
article on helping grandparents and grandchildren connect. The article
is scheduled for November publication. This "connection" can be either
in person through sharing activities and stories during visits or long
distance. Most of my readership has children under age 12. I want to
know how parents can help make that grandparent-grandchild bond special.

I am eager to hear from parents about some of the obstacles to kids
relating to their grandparents and some success stories where good bonds
between grandparents and grandchildren were formed. I will not quote
anyone without permission, and if I do quote you, I will send you a copy
the story if you choose to provide a snail mail address.

You can check out my credentials and the type of stories I write at

Any help or ideas will be appreciated, especially those that have a
holiday (Thanksgiving/Christmas, Hannukah/Kwaanza slant.

Thanks,
Tish Davidson
