As a grandfather, Robert P. Delamontagne, PhD, knew one thing for sure: he didn't want his grandkids to have to suffer the negative outcomes of poor life decisions.
So he decided to write a short guide to life, something he could pass on to each of his grandchildren about the many things he'd learned along his journey.
A Message for My Grandchildren: Sixteen Things I Want You to Know is that guide, filled with musings, comments, tips, and advice for tackling some of life's biggest challenges and adventures, including
- friendship, family, and love;
- humility, passion, and trust;
- travel, career, and media; and
- obstacles, problems, and personal responsibility.
With great insight, Delamontagne tackles issues that are relevant across generations and provides a starting point for grandparents to have these conversations with their grandchildren.
For grandparents wishing their grandkids a happy and productive life, A Message for My Grandchildren serves as a compass that leads them toward a life that is nothing short of marvelous. (For ages 11-16)
