Be the Best Grandparent

<< Prev page

Lynn Chesterman

Written by The Grandparents' Association, a charitable organization based in the U.K. supporting grandparents and their families, this extremely useful and important book offers a mind-boggling (in a good way!) amount of information and advice. While many books for grandparents focus on how to connect and have good times with your grandchild, this book starts way before that point and brings sage guidance into this pivotal point in a family's life.

Beginning with a discussion about how the news of a baby on the way may prompt various reactions, the book covers a wealth of valuable subject matter: letting the parents ''go public'' with the news; respecting the decisions the parents make about the pregnancy, birth, and beyond; holding back criticism; preparing for adoption; recognizing that your most important contribution early on will be to love and nurture the parents; making sure your house is safe for a baby and toddler; managing your own expectations of what it is to be a grandparent; honoring parents' preferences regarding TV, sweets, nap times, etc.; being sensitive to the parents' wishes about gifts for your grandchild; being familiar, yourself, with the stages of speech and language development; long-distance grandparenting; disabilities and the stages of bereavement; separation and divorce of the parents; step-grandparenting, and more. The list of really good information is nearly endless. What I've listed is only a smattering.

Every grandparent-to-be should have this book. It's also extremely helpful for those who are already grandparents, as well as care-givers and teachers. It's rare to find such excellent counsel and guidance in one volume.
