The Sunday Call Script is a free two-page cheat sheet that turns the three-minute grandkid phone call into twenty minutes you'll both look forward to. Eight questions that actually work — field-tested on real children.
Kids aren't bad at phone calls — our questions are. “How was school?” asks a seven-year-old to summarize, and kids can't summarize. They can only remember specifics.
The script gives you three rules and eight specific questions that open the floodgates: the argument-settler opener, the lunchroom-economy question, The Trade (a heat-seeking missile — use responsibly), and the cliffhanger that books the next call before you hang up.
Page two is a call log — because their best answers are gone by Tuesday unless somebody writes them down. That part's on you now.
The Call Script comes with a subscription to our weekly letter for grandparents. Five minutes, once a week, and every issue earns its place on the fridge:
Written for exactly one reader: somebody's favorite person.
Who's Grand & Me? We make the question journal grandparents and grandchildren write together — crayon on the left, cursive on the right. The Call Script is the free taste of the method. No app, no account, nothing to figure out. Just the two of you, on paper.
