I firmly believe there are excellent books and resources available to equip and encourage you as you hand down confident faith - and these are written by a grandma as well. Please get these for you to use and please tell the grandmas (and grandpas/parents) you know, so they are able to do the same.
Bedtime Fun with The Little Ginormous, Humungous, Hairy, One-Eyed Monster Boy's Adventures!
In "The Little Ginormous, Humungous, Hairy, One-Eyed
Monsters' Adventures", you will find two stories - “There are Teeny, Tiny, Itty, Bitty, Not-so-Hairy, Two-eyed People Children Under My Bed!” where children will identify with the little ginormous, humungous, hairy, one-eyed monsters when they think they see a peculiar, scary, and terrifying teeny, tiny, itty, bitty, not-so-hairy, two-eyed people child under their bed! Of course when grandma monster tells the monster boys there can not be a people child under their bed because the people children are at their grandma's and poppa's house on a sleepover, it opens up an important conversation about how the little monster boys are really very much like the little people children.
In “The Little Ginormous, Humongous, Hairy, One-Eyed Monster Boys & Their Not-So-Peculiar, Scary, or Terrifying Discovery!” the little monster boys discover teeny, tiny, itty, bitty, not-so-hairy, two-eyed people children are moving in to a house down the street, so they decide to see for themselves if they are really peculiar, scary, and terrifying - or not.
In these books children will discover, along with the little ginormous, humungous, hairy, one-eyed monsters they are able to make friends with children who may not look like them. Just because they do not look the same, it does not mean they are “peculiar, scary, or terrifying” because we all are very much the same, whether we look alike or not.

Praying Deeper Series

Prayer must be a priority for us if it ever will be for them. So, pray these Scripture prayers for yourself; grow in your love for God. Grow closer to God. Model for your grandchildren/children what it means to be someone who loves, knows, and walks with God; someone who talks with Him. Pray them for the ones you love and trust God, because He loves our grandchildren/children even more than we do, and He definitely hears, absolutely listens to, and most certainly answers our prayers!
Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures: For the Children You Love Who Walk With God & Those Who Do Not
With Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures, each Month you will find a Scripture passage, which is then personalized and written into a prayer for you to pray for yourself and for the ones you love. Each week focuses in on a particular portion of the monthly Scripture passage and prayer with questions to help you think about what you are praying and suggestions for activities you may try with the ones you love as well. As you pray the Scripture passages for a full month, you will be better able to understand what God’s Word is saying to you, pray for it to be real in your life, and in the lives of your grandchildren/children as well. These passages and prayers will encourage you by helping to give you hope – especially if you have children/grandchildren who have turned away from their faith.
