Fifteen years ago, when having a heart-to-heart conversation with my oldest daughter, she confided in me something from her childhood. She told me that she felt like I wasn’t very present for her growing up. And as much as it saddened me, I had to agree with her.

Do you watch your grandchildren at play or engage in play with them?  What do they love to play?  Kids are engaged in a lot of different activities, but is there one that stands out?

My grandchildren are now in their teens and twenties and as I look back on each of their lives, I can now see what they played at a young age was a clue to what they are currently doing in their lives.

Grandmothers play a very important role in the family, not only on a physical level, but on an energetic and spiritual level as well.
