Grandparenting Matters seminar has video as well as embedded Powerpoint slides. There is additional information as well as fill in the blanks in the accompanying workbook. The Equipping Intentional Grandparents is set up a little differently. After teaching it with many churches and gaining input, a decision was made to have the important words or concepts highlighted in bold, so people did not have to try to fill in the blanks. Providing workbooks is a great way to encourage active participation during class as participants highlight, underline, and write in the margins of their book. It also serves as a reference later, containing the workshop along with personal notes. Our experience has shown that allows for better listening and absorbing when not so busy filling in blanks. Praying for you as you encourage and equip grandparents to be more intentional.

If that’s the case, it seems it makes a little sense to purchase workbooks on top of watching the video. Persons in groups could simply watch the video, and the facilitator have the workbook in order to lead with the discussion questions within, but the others would not necessarily even need the workbook seeing they are literally one in the same. I’m wishing we would’ve understood this before. Ordering everyone a workbook.
