Practical GrandFathering Ideas #4

This is On Target with founder Vince D'Acchioli. Practical ideas for grandfathering. This is really the important stuff that we really want to drill down in. Very important to get into their life by asking caring questions. In response to that, tell life experience stories.

I want to tell you something. This may be the most important one altogether. I watch my little guys and girls light up when they're maybe lying in bed next to Nana. They call us Papa and Nana. Grandma and Grandpa, there's all kinds of names, but they'll be lying in bed and Cindy will just start telling them a story and their eyes light up.

Kids love stories and it doesn't matter what age they are. They love hearing stories and especially stories where you're sharing your life experiences with them. And I want to encourage you, don't do this in a negative or judgmental way saying, hey, when I grew up, I didn't do it that way. I'm not talking about those kinds of stories. I'm talking about stories that they can engage with that have some exciting things maybe going on.
