ROCKSTAR GRANDPARENT book review

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. Today's grandparent needs to understand technology--how it mesmerizes grandchildren but also enhances the opportunities to connect and share life experiences. And while many of the roles grandparents play in the lives of grandchildren have changed, their most important role of influencing with wisdom, faith, and fun remains the same. The author addresses topics relevant to all grandparents and also looks at the challenges of grandchildren living in single parent or blended families. Also included are stories from the author's journey with her own grandchildren--including Duck Dynasty's Sadie Robertson.

MY BOOK REVIEW:  
3 Stars *** 3/5 
This book is well-written and inspirational, but it was not what I was expecting.  I thought there would be fun and interesting activities to do with our grandchildren, but it seemed more of a "tell-all" book to old age.   It tells how to budget, how to write a will, etc These are all good things but I didn't think the author was qualified to write in detail about them.    It did mention the Robertson family of "Duck Dynasty" many times and I am one of their biggest fans, so I enjoyed those parts.  The author is mother-in-law to Willie Robertson and grandmother to Willie and Korie's children.   
I would recommend this book if that is what you're looking for in a grandparenting book.  
I received a free digital copy of this book from netgalley and Waterbrook Press in exchange for my honest review.   I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.
