<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The author, a successful businesswoman, shares how she merged her working career with her role as grandmother and offers grandparents fun and creative ideas for enriching their relationships with their grandchildren while teaching them valuable life skills that will help them grow strong and think critically.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Warm cookies and milk are still okay, but what if they came with a workshop on goal setting or writing a business plan for the school year? <em>Camp Grandma</em> is full of innovative ideas that Marianne Waggoner Day, a highly successful businesswoman who became a committed and dedicated grandmother, modified from her working life in an effort to connect with her grandchildren. Along the way, she realized that in teaching her grandchildren, she in turn was learning some unexpected and invaluable lessons from them. Here, Day offers a new and refreshing perspective on grandparenting. Readers will be introduced to a compelling, sometimes humorous, and totally unexpected twist on a role people often take for granted--as well as enter into the larger societal conversation we should be having about the possibilities and value of grandparenting and how the women's movement has reinvigorated and reshaped women's approach to being grandmothers. Full of ideas and creative ways for grandparents to help their grandchildren grow strong, think critically, and have fun all at the same time, <em>Camp Grandma</em> reveals the importance of grandparenting and the value of passing on traditions, knowledge, and wisdom to the new generation. Babysitter? Not even close.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Your children need help in raising your grandchildren--not because they are necessarily poor parents (though many are) but because they are, as all parents are, flawed parents. That's where you, the grandparent, come in. The power of grandparents to positively influence grandchildren cannot be overstated. <i>Camp Grandma</i> is an excellent and needed guide to becoming that grandparent. You--and your grandchildren--will be grateful you read it." --Dennis Prager, nationally syndicated radio talk show host and columnist, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author, and founder of Prager University "By sharing her life experiences, Day demonstrates how to engage our grandchildren in meaningful opportunities to build their personal skills, and their loving relationships with each other and their families, while having fun at the same time. She shows us that the time today's active and capable grandparents spend with their grandchildren can be an enriching and impactful experience that goes well beyond our traditional view of grandparents as 'babysitters.'" --Nancy J. Lavelle, PhD, Founder and President/CEO, Total Education Solutions, Inc. "A new and refreshing perspective on being a twenty-first-century grandmother. Readers will experience a compelling, sometimes humorous story and gain ideas and creative ways of helping their own grandchildren grow strong, think critically, and have fun all at the same time. Funny, wise, clever, practical, and helpful, this wonderful book presents a new layer to consider in the relationship between grandparent and grandchildren." --Laree Kiely, PhD, President, WeWill, Inc.<br>
