My daughter moved to Australia last year. It ripped me apart then as we lived quite close to each other and I miss her and my two beautiful granddaughters terribly. We Skype which is at least something because I get to see them as well as hear them but I'm having trouble communicating with my eldest DGD (5). She never wants to talk to me and leaves the room. sad We had a great relationship when she was here and when I went to visit them over Christmas things were as normal. She just won't engage with me on Skype. What can I do?

Thanks Elena - I am busily learning French action songs this week! Had a lovely skype yesterday when the GC were both chatting away (not too sure what about) and we just nodded and responded as best we could! I've also got a book that I know they have so we will try reading.

I'm surprised this thread is not more active as so many grandparents have family that live abroad.

Good luck to everyone in this position!
