Grandparenting With Love & Logic: Practical Solutions to Today's Grandparenting Challenges

Grandparents have changed! The stereotype of the fragile, white-haired retiree has been shattered. Today's grandparents are active and involved- in everything from careers to fitness to dating. They are 'thirty-something' to one hundred plus- and every age in between. Grandparent's roles have also changed, as have many of their situations. While some may be grand-parenting within a 'traditional' family, others may be facing new challenges such as: acting as a stabilising force during times of family upheaval, providing day care for a grandchild, furnishing temporary living arrangements for an adult child and grandchild, filling the role of 'Mum' and 'Dad' for a grandchild, blending step-grandchildren with biological grandchildren. Whatever the unique situation, parenting expert Jim Fay shows grandparents how to develop enjoyable, fulfilling relationships with both their adult children - while helping grandchildren grow into responsible, caring young people.
