Being a Distance Grandchild - a book for ALL Generations
Helen Ellis
When generations of a family are spread across countries and continents, it changes everything – relationships, roles, identity and connection.
Being a Distance Grandchild explores what it means to grow up away from grandparents and extended family, giving voice to those who live between homes, cultures and time zones.
This book answers a question that has never been asked before: “How is it, or how was it, being a Distance Grandchild?”
Crafted with insight, warmth and purpose, this book, written by a New Zealander, is part of a series dedicated to building empathy across the generations of globally scattered families. It helps grandparents, parents and grandchildren understand each other’s realities – sometimes obvious, often subtle and frequently unspoken.
Educators, counsellors, HR professionals, military personnel, NGOs, diplomatic staff, missionary organisations, government agencies, and relocation experts – anyone working in global mobility – will also find valuable perspective in these pages. Because behind every international move is a network of family ties that need care and understanding.
With knowledge comes understanding…
With understanding comes empathy…
And empathy is a good thing for Distance Families.
Being a Distance Grandchild – A Book for ALL Generations is the last of three in the insightful Distance Families Book Series.
