Overview

This comprehensive guide offers ten basic principles for effective grandparenting, combining solid advice from experts with inspirational and humorous real-life stories. Intentional Grandparenting helps ease the transition for grandparents who face a vastly changed world of parenting by explaining the differences between "then and now" in childbirth and child-rearing practices, as well as what to expect in diverse family situations such as blended families and same-sex unions. This handbook includes a wealth of practical ideas, such as how to baby-proof your home, how to stay in touch (including cyber-grandparenting), and how you can best support your adult children as they become parents. Informative and fun, this book is an indispensable tool for anyone entering this challenging and rewarding life stage.
