Anecdotal insights into establishing and maintaining healthy, rewarding relationships with younger family members. Many books look at the role of grandparents in the lives of their grandchildren. This one is somewhat different. There are no lists of do’s and don’ts and no predictable homilies. Instead, the authors focus on real-life situations and use heart-warming, real-life stories as illustrations. Life in the 21st century is complex; never before have young people been faced with so many choices and such a barrage of distractions. Their world and the one in which their grandparents lived as young people could hardly be more be different. Yet this difference in backgrounds need not create alienation or cause rifts. Quite the opposite. Relationships have to do with emotional intelligence, maturity, love, generosity of spirit, honesty, friendship and compassion. Grandparents are well-placed to form warm and loving relationships with their grandchildren if they are able to form mature relationships in other areas of their lives. The Grandparents’ Handbook entertainingly and insightfully discusses most of the really important issues that grandparents are likely to confront in their relationships with their grandchildren and shows how openness and honest, loving responses can create lasting relationships that are more precious than anything material could ever offer. Parents will find it of equal interest and value.
