Details
The moment you heard the news, the hours in the hospital waiting room, the first time a small voice tried to say your name. This book gives those moments somewhere to live: 96 gentle activities, one to a page, that turn becoming a grandparent into stories told out loud and written down.
It is something a screen cannot give: a real book you hold, write in, and hand on to the grandchildren it is about.
Who it is for
Grandparents who want their memories on paper, and the families, carers and care-home staff who sit with them. The book's own note says it is made to be shared and is never a test: no wrong answers, no right speed. It suits reminiscence with an older relative, including someone living with memory loss.
What is inside
Eight chapters of twelve activities each: The Announcement, Preparing the Nursery, The Hospital Day, Grandparent Names, Family Recipes, Stories to Tell, Holidays Together and Forever Bonds.
- 80 reminiscence prompts, each an open question in 18pt type above ruled lines for writing, such as "Was there a funny early attempt at your grandparent name that made everyone laugh?"
- 8 easy word searches on 8 x 8 grids in 24pt letters, words across or down only, with the eight words listed under the grid and solutions at the back
- 8 Look at This pages: a frame for a family photograph, five questions to talk about and a few lines for notes
- A guide to using the book and a note on sharing it
