Having lived through countless cultural changes and circumstances our kids will never experience, grandparents have seemingly unlimited amounts of information and perspective to pass on to our children. That's why I help my daughter write out questions to ask her grandparents and then schedule a video chat for her to interview them. Not only does she enjoy learning fun facts about their lives when they were her age (no video games?!?!), but she gets to hear their perspectives about important historical events, too (think Apollo 11).
