Conversation Starters for Every Grandparent

For the growing population of grandparents, help is here in this very practical handbook for seniors who babysit, visit or spend time with youngsters. It covers topics for grandchildren to ask their grandparents, for grandparents to ask their grandchildren, for grandparents to ask their adult children, for grandparent couples to ask each other, and for grandparents in general conversation.

It also includes ways to create safe and friendly environments in which to initiate a chat, selecting age-appropriate conversation openers, avoiding sensitive issues, and developing listening as well as speaking skills.
