Seniors Count-Nashua workshop offers tips for 21st Century grandparents

Grandparents play a variety of roles with their grandchildren: some live far away and visit once a year…others are every-Friday-night babysitters. Some grandparents play blocks or tell stories…others care for grandchildren full-time because parents are unable to care for them. Whatever the role, grandparents are important in the lives of children…and raising children now may be very different from the first time.

Join us at a special Seniors Count-Nashua workshop to explore how it feels to be a grandparent in 2011 while you learn current views on how best to meet the needs of the young children in your life. The program is scheduled for Monday, August 8 at the Nashua Senior Activity Center, 70 Temple St.

The free workshop begins at 1:00pm and is open to the public. Please call Beth Todgham, Seniors Count-Nashua facilitator at (603) 889-3440 x 629 for more information.
