You’d think that becoming a beloved grandmother would evolve so naturally that a handbook would be unnecessary. Today\u2019s households, however, aren’t all Rockwell-esque, and grandmothers must figure out how to bond with their grandkids in these quickly changing times. With warmth and significant research, Grandmothering<\/em> covers every possible grandparent situation you could think of\u2014and many you\u2019ve never considered. Grandmothers may want to know how to accept adult children\u2019s lifestyles and parenting choices, navigate cultural and generational issues and keep in touch with media-savvy, long-distance grandkids. The book calls upon real-life situations to teach today’s grandmother how to be emotionally available, to offer the right kind of help and to get her own needs met along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
