If you have grandchildren, you know full well that grand parenting is an experience that makes your heart soar. When the heart of a grandparent connects with the hearts of their grandchildren the power and beauty of legacy unfolds. As grandparents you have a unique opportunity to call your grandkids to greatness. In his book  The H.E.A.R.T of Grandparenting, 5 Keys To Being The Best Grandparent Possible, Ken Canfield, bestselling author and granddad of eleven, both celebrates and empowers grandparents for living their journey with success. Through his research, biblical insight, and personal wellspring of knowledge, Ken wants to impart to you what he has learned: five keys for being the best grandparent possible. Regardless of miles that separate or blended families to maneuver, your chances to be active and connected can change your family, even the world, one grandchild at a time. If I had one book to give every grandparent in America, this would be it! And there truly is no one more qualified to teach and inspire grandparents than my friend, Dr. Ken Canfield, who not only is a grandfather himself, but has been a respected national leader of families for the past four decades. I wholeheartedly endorse The Heart of Grandparenting as a practical and proven guide to strategically equip grandparents to step into their God- given role with greater purpose and intention. --Dr. Michelle Watson Author of Dad, Here s What I Really Need from You: A Guide for Connecting with Your Daughter's Heart Dr. Ken Canfield s new book, The Heart of Grandparenting will encourage, delight and inspire grandparents. Who better to write a book about grandparenting than someone who has spent years studying the grandchild/grandparent relationship and is a hands-on grandparent himself! Dr. Canfield keeps things ''real'' by sharing the ups and downs of his own personal experiences with his grandchildren. The author's pure heart and sincerity make this book a must read for all grandparents who want to improve their relationship with their grandchildren. --Teresa Bell Kindred Author and Writer at NanaHood.com With this project, Dr. Ken Canfield set a goal to awaken, motivate, and equip grandparents. He does this with excellence. His years of experience, actually being a grandparent, and having an interest in scientific research come together in a rich combination to form a must-read book. I found this to be a rich blend of experience, wisdom, and information from current research. For example, the chapter that addresses life review, is not only informative but presents activities that can bring personal application to the reader. This is more than just another interesting book. It gives readers tools to enhance their experience of being a grandparent. If you read one book this year on grandparenting this is the one to read. --Judd Swihart, PhD and Nancy Swihart Author of Beside Every Great Dad For over thirty years we have known and had the utmost respect for Dr. Canfield, his commitment to integrity, his research background, and his dedication to helping families with timeless insights. We are delighted that he has turned his attention to the grandparenting phase of life; we can't imagine anyone better to share his wisdom on this topic. This is your go-to book on grandparenting: it will inspire and encourage you in this vitally important role. --Dr. Emerson & Sarah Eggerichs Authors of Love & Respect Dr. Ken Canfield is a nationally known leader and researcher who has committed his life to strengthening families.
