Overview
The must-read guide to navigating family life as a grandparent.
The relationship between grandparent and grandchild is more important to families than ever before, with 7 million grandparents providing childcare in the UK. But while the joys of being a grandparent are widely celebrated, some challenges are generally brushed under the carpet.
Author, journalist and grandparent Celia Dodd speaks to grandmothers and grandfathers and draws on the latest research to better understand how to manage your emotions, time and energy alongside other commitments and dreams. Whether you're a grandma, dada, nanny or pops, Grandparenting encourages you to celebrate your age and experience as a strength – not a weakness. This book also reminds you how to channel your wisdom and empathy into nurturing deep and lasting family relationships, and includes topics such as:
- Managing relationships with your adult children and son/daughter in law
- Providing childcare and babysitting
- Coping as a single grandparent
- Supporting your adult child through fertility treatment
- Navigating your own or your child's divorce.
