An Easy Way to Increase a Child's Attention Span by Pamela Rice Hahn When you teach a child how to increase his or her attention span, you do that child a big favor. Learning becomes easier. It can also be fun -- especially when you're doing the teaching in a way in which the child doesn't even realize it's happening!
For
Grandmaby
Pamela Rice Hahn
A poem the author wrote for her
grandmother after the death of
her grandfather. This is
HappyGrandparent's first example
of grandparent poetry. (I'm
adding links to other sites with
grandparent poems on this and
the Links page.)
Miracle
of Grandpa's Handby
Richard Mann Learn how this grandfather had a hand in ensuring that many generations of his family would attend Sunday School.
Darnell and the Fire Pitby
Richard Mann A delightful story about a
three-year-old's adventure at a picnic. Read about what can result when an adorable grandson (Don't believe me? Then, just look at that picture!) teaches grandpa a lesson in just what can result when you've got boundless energy and determination.
Loving
Complimentby
Peggy Williams It never ceases to amaze me how grandchildren phrase their loving compliments. They can whip your head around and make you stop to ponder what they have said. When all was said and done, our grandson definitely paid me a compliment but I was left mentally trying to figure out when something has taken place that he saw and I had missed.
Grandpa
In Chargeby
Arthur Montague Sometimes, when her parents are away, Grandpa and
K.C. get to play. K.C. Just two and a bit, was definitely feeling up for her special time with grandpa, or
"Pa," as she calls me. Perhaps too much so.
The Fence, the Popsicle, and a Can of Coors by Arthur Montague I did my part on a warm Summer morning while
K.C. was off mau-mauing the day care folks. I painted the backyard picket fence white. To me the exercise seemed sensible.
Kid-Safe Home: Some Tips For Grandparents by Diana Maree
Maybe you learned the rules twenty, thirty years ago.
You know it's stupid to keep drain cleaner and bleach under the kitchen sink, and
you don't leave toddlers alone in bathtubs. But maybe
you need a refresher, now that we've got grandkids coming to visit.
