6. I know several grandparents who take special trips with their grandchildren.

Some choose a special birthday, such as turning 16, and allow the grandchild to choose where to go. Others might choose other birthdays and let kids choose something special, such as a trip to a baseball game or a live theater production or a concert. Depending on how much you have to spend and a child’s interests, you might simply take just one at a time to a museum or to a special event such as a local gymnastics competition followed by dinner together or to a nearby college event. Just sharing time one on one really creates special memories for kids.
