[quote=Anonymous]One set of grandparents aren't able to visit regularly for a host of reasons (we visit as often as finances & vacation time allow), but want to be more involved and I'd like to help. We do Skype calls on weekends, but even those aren't every week due to major time differences & weekend schedules (busy not just on our end, but theirs as well) - so when they do happen, they're *long* calls and we have to sort of plan for it. I found a software that allows you to record your voice reading an e-book for children so the kid's can hear Grams read them a story. Any other ideas? The kids are too young for video games, but is there like a board game style interactive thing that a set of grandparents might get into with the kids? Or maybe a platform that hosts a series of activities for international family interaction? I'm sure we're not the first to face this situation and turn to technology for some assistance. Thanks for any tips![/quote]
