Book excerpt: Meet Super Grandma. She is ready to show you all of her tried and tested activities for staying connected with your children and grandchildren by connecting them with their family history. Pick and choose from the multitude of ideas to find what will work best for your family. Zap the generation gaps in your family so that you and your family can feel the happiness and power that comes from knowing about your family's past. Super Grandma wants to help you connect to your family members by connecting them to the super grandmas and super grandpas of your past. (Every family has scoundrels and super heroes-if you haven't found any yet, keep looking.) Family history connects family members in a way that is personal and unique to your family. It gives youth the power to identify with personal heroes, learn life lessons without having to personally go through them, and gain a wise, broad perspective on life. Teaching your children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and even your brothers and sisters about their family history can create strong bonds in your family. The connections to your family's past become a framework to empower your relationships and strengthen your family's future.
