Becoming a grandparent is a major milestone, raising new questions,
challenges, and opportunities. Prepare for this transformative stage of
life--and make the baby's first year one of the most meaningful
experiences for both of you.
Good to Be Grand is the ultimate roadmap for today's grandparent,
combining the latest information about infant care--from medical
developments to equipment innovations to parenting practices--with
honest, down-to-earth advice and anecdotes about grandparents' special
role.
Journalist and new grandmother Cheryl Harbour gets right to the point of
what modern grandparents really need to know from the time they begin
anticipating the birth to the end of the first year. Harbour takes the
best and most relevant information from the latest research, expert
interviews, and thick parenting books and tailors it specifically for
grandparents, recognizing the unique bond they share with their
children's children.
Each chapter provides interesting facts and observations about what has
remained the same and what has changed about childcare over the years,
what you can do to support the physical and emotional well-being of your
grandchild and, most important, what you can do to make the most of the
experience.
With a foreword by Hillary Rodham Clinton, including her personal
reflections on the birth of her first grandchild, Good to Be Grand is
for smart and sophisticated grandparents eager to embark on their
grandparenting journeys with enthusiasm, knowledge, and confidence.
