Relationship Builders: Grandparent Questions

Have you given your children the gift of their grandparents?  Do you encourage that relationship, even if you’re not on the best terms with your own parents or your in-laws?  We understand that not all grandparents are willing or able to be hands-on with their grand kids, but for those who are, there are great benefits. Grandparents are able to offer your children wisdom and a different perspective on the world.

Build bonds by asking these questions:

  1. What is your full name? Why did your parents choose this name?
  2. When and where were you born?
  3. What was your childlike home like?
  4. What kind of games did you play growing up?
  5. What is your earliest childhood memory?
  6. What was your favorite toy and why?
  7. What was your favorite thing to do for fun?
  8. Did you have family chores? What were they?
  9. Did you receive an allowance? How much and what did you do with it?
  10. What was your school like for you as a child? What were your best and worst subjects?
  11. Do you remember any fads from your youth? Popular hairstyles? Clothes?
  12. What was your religion growing up?

  14. Describe a typical family dinner. Did you all eat together as a family? Who did the cooking?
