I was inspired by my grandson, Michael Thomas, Jr., to write "Grandma's Helper". I didn't realize that over the years I had forgotten so much. As I spent treasured moments caring for my grandchild, I would jot down little reminders as to what to do next in the course of the day of grandparenting. Then it occurred to me to compile the notes into a book to help other grandmas, grandpas, moms, and dads. Introducing a child to the world around him provides opportunity to bring out the physical as well as the spiritual side of his development. Early training and guidance of small children provide valuable lessons for grandparents. The main ingredients that we must possess are tender loving care and a reverence for God and His Word as we train our children in the way they should go. It is the purpose of this book to teach the fulfillment of that commission.
