45 Thoughtful Questions to Ask Your Grandchild About Their Day

It’s another beautiful day, and you know what that means: MORE questions to ask your grandkids that will build your bond! I have been sharing many lists of questions lately, but I am constantly hearing from you and how it is bringing you and your grandchildren together in new and different ways.

Are you ready for the next batch? I was hoping you’d say yes! 😛
