Recently I received this blog “Five Reasons Grandparents must get on Facebook” written by Megan DeFilippo. I want to share this blog with you since many grandparents have expressed they find it difficult to connect and relate to their teenage grandchildren. This blog may answer some of your apprehensions and remove fears you may have about signing up for Facebook. Surprise your grandchild with a Facebook message.

I agree with DeFilippo's reasons but must add that conservative grandparents who are friends with younger people online should prepare to be shocked occasionally, unless your grandchildren and all of their friends are more virtuous or more discreet than the norm. I have a lengthy article that covers all the pros and cons of Facebook for grandparents. http://grandparents.about.com/...cebook.htm
