Summary

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.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The influence of grandparents in the lives of their ‘grands’ is largely a matter of what they make of the opportunity to be steady sources of godly wisdom and counsel. Somewhat ironically, the more seriously they take the responsibility, the more fun they will have! This message is at the heart of Chrys Howard’s inspiring book.”—John Rosemond, author of Parenting by The Book and other parenting bestsellers

“I’ve personally benefited from watching Chrys Howard juggle a crazy schedule and also grandmother her large family with grace and wisdom. Now you can score those same grandparenting ‘hacks’ in Rockstar Grandparent! Her valuable insight on handing down a legacy of faith leaves me hoping this book finds its way into the hands of grandparents far and wide.”—Shellie Rushing Tomlinson, author of Devotions for the Hungry Heart

“I’ve read most every book on the topic of grandparenting, and Rockstar Grandparent stands out from the crowd. I felt as though I was in an intimate conversation with a very wise, experienced, and special friend. Chrys Howard’s insights, creativity, humor, humility, powers of observation, and storytelling will delight all readers. As she delivers an abundance of wisdom and inspiration on a myriad of challenging family topics, she lavishes the reader with her deep abiding love of family and God.”—Christine Crosby, editorial director for Grand magazine

“Ever wondered how to make a lasting difference in the lives of your grandchildren? If you long to build joy, significance, creativity, and spiritual encouragement into the young lives you mold, Rockstar Grandparent is for you!”—Carol Kent, speaker and author of He Holds My Hand

“Chrys Howard had me laughing, crying, and above all, inspired to take my grandparenting to a whole new level. Not only is Rockstar Grandparent filled with practical and fun ideas, but it also tackles the challenges of grandparenting today and leaves the reader spiritually motivated to play a meaningful role in the lives of his or her grandchildren.”—Cindy Lambert, coauthor of Unplanned

“Chrys gives practical ways to be a fun grandparent and shares the importance of being a united family, cheering on one another. She gives down-to-earth wisdom on how to be a positive influence in your grandchildren’s lives and how to guide them to have an eternal impact on God’s kingdom.”—Mac and Mary Owen, national directors of Celebrate Recovery

Rockstar Grandparent provides the inspiration and encouragement we need to help us shine as grandparents. In her fun and whimsical way, Chrys Howard gives us practical and wise advice to creatively engage with our grandkids and make a positive difference for generations to come.”—Karol Ladd, best-selling author of The Power of a Positive Mom

“Think being a grandparent is a secondary role in a child’s development? Think again! Chrys Howard reveals how crucial your role is and how powerfully you influence the lives of your grandkids. If you want to demonstrate your love in the best way, consider this book your guidebook.”—Joe Beam, PhD, chair at MarriageHelper

“This fun book gives rock solid, rockstar advice on how to instill godly qualities in your grandchildren. Packed with plenty of great ideas, tips, and funny stories about Chrys’s own grandchildren, this book is so good that you’ll want to buy one for yourself and for every grandparent you know!”—Martha Bolton, author and playwright for Blue Gate Musicals

“Mom and Dad are ‘the law,’ but grandparents are ‘the grace’—and that’s what Chrys is giving us in Rockstar Grandparent! So spend some of your kids’ inheritance and buy it!”—Dennis Swanberg, “America’s Minister of Encouragement”
