Good Times with Out-of-Sync Grandkids is a guide for making memories. It includes more than fifty activities that the fictional Grammy and Pops have enjoyed over the years with their fictional grandchildren, Carrie, Darwin, and Edward. You may have met the kids in The Out-of-Sync Family: A Story about Sensory Differences (Sensory World, 2023). The characters are imaginary, but their experiences are real, coming from the author’s life as a child, babysitter, mother, preschool teacher, special education consultant, Cub Scout leader, and grandparent. This book may trigger happy memories of what you, as a child, loved to do with your grandparents and may help you reanimate those shared experiences, adapting them to match your grandchild’s age, interest, and sensory differences.

Things to Do Together with a Grandchild Like CARRIE (with Dyspraxia and Postural Challenges) Carrie is our first grandchild. We tell her she is our favorite granddaughter. (She groans, “Grammy and Pops, that’s because I am your only granddaughter!”) She has sensory-based motor challenges. One subtype of this sensory difference is called dyspraxia. She has poor motor planning, always knocking into things and tripping on air. She is the family’s Sensory Fumbler. Carrie has another subtype, postural issues. These affect her posture, balance, bilateral coordination, and how she controls her body parts to move about. She is our Sensory Slumper. During one of our visits when Carrie was nine, Andy and Betsy invited neighbors over for dessert. They are fun company except when complaining about how they must nag their children to do simple things like hang up their coats, go up to bed, and so forth.

That means, ‘You.’ When you see it, stand up. Second, I’ll point my thumb to the ceiling. That means, ‘Go upstairs.’ Third, I’ll point my middle finger horizontally. That means, ‘Go to bed.’ When you see all three fingers, say to our visitors, ‘Nice to see you. It’s my bedtime. Good night.’ Then head upstairs. They’ll be amazed to discover what a well-behaved granddaughter you are.” Carrie was all giggles while they practiced. Insects and worms have always interested Darwin, but as a little kid, do you think he would ever be likely to touch one? Not on his life! And yet—Pops made it happen. Pops and I believe that everything is better outside. If the kids resist going out in wet weather, he says, “Our family doesn’t melt in the rain.” Or he paraphrases Robert Frost’s poem, “The Pasture”: “I’m going out to check the little worms. I sha’n’t be gone long.—You come too.” One drizzly afternoon, Darwin agreed to put on his boots and go. Pops hoped to entice him t
