A guide to grandparenting with purpose and fun--in the age of smart phones and social media. Grandparenting may be different today, but it still can be meaningful and fun for both the kids and the adults.

We have exchanged household help for food processors, cooking for take-out, and leisurely dining for fast foods. We used to read more, listen to the radio, and write letters; now we watch TV, talk on the telephone, and fax. It is written that there is "a time to weep and a time to laugh." The trick is to know which one to do when. Given a choice, let's go with the laughter." --
