Here are a few suggestions for keeping in contact with your grandchildren:

• Zoom cooking sessions. Food is always a great connector.
• If grandkids live nearby, taking nature walks. Bring a surprise snack. Gives you great time together.
• Zoom (or Facetime or Skype) a favorite story. Everyone loves story hour.
• Playing online or by cell phone various word games.  Just pick a theme and see where that goes. Kids love it.
• Talk about the future and specifically what the kids would like to do when covid is over and when they get a bit older.

It’s really important to stay in touch — for both the grandparent and for the grandchild.
