Grandparents Can Provide Comfort, Security For Grandchildren
If you have a grandchild who suffers from night fears, you know how difficult it is for them to go to sleep.
They see monsters under the bed, in the closet and in dark corners.
There's a way to combat those fears that involves using a book and, a custom-made CD featuring YOU reading the story, and of all things, e-mail.
Let's take, for example, a beautifully-illustrated book that grandparents give to their grandchildren to combat night fears.
Children, like adults, fear what they don't understand.
Adults have learned through experience that there's nothing in the closet or under the bed.
Children don't have the benefit of years of experience to draw upon.
Instead of a fearful child who begs to go home, you can help your grandchild find comfort and security by reading the book to them.
Books about night fears are common enough, but this article is about how technology can help you to help your grandchildren.
Purchase a book with an option for you to record yourself reading it.
One speciality publishers provides you with a phone number and special instructions on how to record your book.
You just call the number and record the book in your own voice.
You can have more than one person record the book, or take turns providing voices for the different characters.
Only one page is recorded at a time.
If you make a mistake, just start the page over as many times as you want.
When the recording is completed, two CDs are prepared.
One is for your grandchild and one is for you to keep as a backup in case the other is destroyed.
Recording the book in your own voice creates a one-of-a-kind gift that your grandchildren will treasure forever as a symbol of your love.
In the old days, grandparents lived fairly close to their grandchildren.
The modern world has changed all that.
Grandparents now often find themselves separated from their grandchildren by hundreds, or even thousands, of miles.
The "personally recorded book" option provides grandparents with a means of demonstrating to their grandchildren how much they're loved and cherished.
(This also work for parents who must travel frequently for work, aunts, uncles, and parents who are living apart from their children, like service people living overseas or non-custodial parents.
If you don't feel comfortable recording the book, another option allows you to send a weekly "Let's Be Creative message.
" You can keep in touch with a digital gift to show your grandchildren you're thinking of them.
Each week for a year, you'll receive an email with information that motivates children to read, write or draw.
Simply forward the e-mail to one or more children.
