• Choose a book series to read with your grandchildren. Read to them using the phone or a videoconference service. As they get older and the books get longer, read separately and then use technology to discuss the book’s highlights together.

• Write letters to your grandkids, telling them how much you love them, what you specifically love about them, and what gifts you see in them. Tell them how thankful you are that God has made them so special.

• Have breakfast together once a week using the phone or a videoconference service.

• Start a collection of something with your grandchild, such as dolls from other countries, interesting stones, matchbooks, coins, or colored glass. Continue adding to the collection when you travel or when you are together.

• Text them on an ordinary day and let them know you’re thinking about them.

• Pray for your grandkids, and tell them the specific things you are asking God to do for them or show them.

• Send packages! Especially at holidays and birthdays when you are apart, packages with even small, inexpensive gifts or treats are memorable to kids. When they move away from home, send an occasional package to school with homemade cookies or a gift card to a coffee shop.

• Call or send a letter when kids have special events or milestones at school or church. For instance, while you may not be present for a baptism, calling your grandchild on that special day is still very memorable. The same can be true of soccer tournaments, school plays, or after a church retreat weekend.

• If financially possible, offer to pay travel expenses so your grandchild can come stay with you for a long weekend or more, without siblings or parents.
