Interviewing Sue Johnson
 Grandloving
Sue Johnson: Our first grandson was born on the West coast and we were on the East coast. Despite the distance we wanted to be part of this little boy's life. After looking in the library and bookstores for a good guide to grandparenting and not finding anything helpful, I commented to Julie, my daughter-in-law that, "I can write a better book than what is out there!" To that Julie replied, "Well, Mom, just do it" and quickly added, "How would you like a co-author?" We started the next week outlining and forming a questionnaire that I mailed to 150 grandparent friends all over the world. That snowballed into over 350 responses, so we knew there was a need and that we had struck a cord. We used the best ideas that came in from many caring families who shared what had worked for them as the cornerstone of Grandloving.
Lauren Smith: What do you hope grandparents learn from this book?
Sue Johnson: Over 200 fun and inexpensive ways to turn your grandchild's mailbox into a treasure chest whether you live next door or across the world! eminders about the stages of child development.
Heartfelt ideas for holidays, visits back and forth and family traditions.
Tips for being the grandparent every child wants and thoughtful ways to strengthen family relationships…Helpful resources and wonderful books to share with your grandchildren.
