Fathers<br />

My grandparents lived a five and ten minute drive from<br />

my house growing up. I could see them just about anytime<br />

I wanted to. I spent countless hours with them. My<br />

grandmother passed away earlier this year; she was my last<br />

living grandparent. Although I spent a lot of time with them,<br />

I wish I had more time left.<br />

Today, my kids live over an hour away from their grandparents<br />

so they don’t get to see them as much. As they are aging, I<br />

realize the remaining days we have with them are less than<br />

what we’ve already spent.<br />

I really want our kids to have a great relationship with them.<br />

Fortunately, although the distance between us is greater,<br />

technology affords additional ways to connect. Here are 7<br />

ways to connect your kids with their grandparents online<br />

and offline.<br />

1. Video chat.<br />

We have just started this with our parents and it is great! <strong>The</strong>re<br />

are several options available. You can use Skype, Google<br />

Hangouts, or FaceTime. All are great options and allow your<br />

kids and your parents to see and hear one another.
