Happy Grandparents' Day! Life Coaching Activities



National Grandparents' Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in West Virginia.

Her motivation to create this day came from a need she saw in the lonely elderly in nursing homes. By creating Grandparents' Day she hoped to get grandchildren to spend more time with their grandparents.

In 1978, National Grandparents' Day was proclaimed to be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.


Life Coaching Activities for Time and Contact with Grandparents


1. Create a Blog so Grandparents can follow what you and your children are doing.

2. Do quick updates weekly.

3. Upload pictures.

4. Have grandchildren draw cards for Grandparents and send by regular mail.

5. Send e-cards to Grandparents.

6. Set aside a time to make a phone call, at least once a month, to update them on what is happening in your life.

7. Use Skype to keep in contact. Let Grandparents see the children grow.

8. Get Grandparents involved. Have them write up their favorite family recipes.


Just a minute or two of your time will make a great difference in your Grandparent's lives and add to the value of your life.


Have a great day!
