From the Author: My aim, in this book, is to introduce you to strategic grandparenting to help you to play your God-given, unique role in your grandchildren’s lives. God has equipped you with faith, hope, and love to help you think, pray, and act strategically. By his grace and your efforts, your grandchildren may become excellent Christians, fine citizens, and the persons God intends them to become. Grandparents have special gifts to influence their grandchildren If I had to choose between a great youth worker and a strategic grandparent to influence the young, I would choose the strategic grandparent. Grandparents are uniquely placed to do what no youth worker can do. They have at least six special ingredients that, when mixed with a few youth-work skills, yield a perfect partnership—possibly better than peanut butter and jelly. Grandparents Special Ingredients: You have time to waste on love for years to come.You have a different kind of presence and approachability that no other adult has.You have a strong identity.You are a model of commitment and stability, a stabilizing force in your grandchildren’s lives in a rapidly changing and unsettling world.You have the wisdom that comes from experience.You have faith that is worth passing on to your grandchildren. Why Be Strategic? "Being strategic grandparents can be compared to building beautiful cathedrals; we grandparents have the privilege to work for our descendants.
