3. A Note To Grandparents

This book is written for grandparents, by a grandparent. We’re not trying to usurp the authority of the parents, but we know that in today’s changing work environment many families have both parents working.

Everyday concerns must take precedence, and sometimes the future is left to the future. That’s not a situation I personally relish. I want to be active in creating my future experiences, rather than let them just happen without my input.

I’m sure that from your vantage point, and with your experience, you agree it’s better to be in control of what’s going to happen to you rather than letting it evolve through happenstance.

To control your own shots, you need an expanded view of what’s possible, you need skills that are neglected in our educational system and you need to be financially savvy.

These are the things I will be expanding on in this book, and specifi cally, what you can do, along with the parents, to educate your grandchildren to meet the rapidly advancing future in a confident manner.
