Grandparents for Growth Club- grandparents raising their grandchildren or trying to learn how to best support their kid's and grandchildren have their own "club". As listed below, grandparents have a separate newsletter, a roster of others to communicate with and discounted memberships. Members of this group also receive our primary publication of The MAGIC Touch each quarter. This is a popular group and many parents are signing their parents up for this to help them stay current on aspects affecting their grandchildren. Regular parent members of MAGIC do not have access to this area-it is restricted to grandparents only to facilitate open communication and support to this very unique group of "super stars"! We understand that supporting grandparents is a very important aspect of the child's overall wellness.
"Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children."
Alex Haley (1921 - 1992) novelist, journalist
