Well known for her advice on sexual issues, Westheimer turns her
attention to this comparatively neglected topic, neglected perhaps
because it concerns older people and because it is assumed that
grandparenting comes naturally. Not so, says Dr Ruth! She offers
cosy, anecdotal advice across a range of topics, including the
protocol of visiting, gift-giving, babysitting and interfaith
families, with bibliographies for further reading. The statistics
and helpline/contact addresses are American, but most of the issues
addressed transcend geographical barriers and many grandparents
will find Dr Westheimer's approach reassuring and
thought-provoking. (Kirkus UK)
Dr Westheimer, known to millions as Dr. Ruth, has written this comprehensive guide to 'grandparenting' with the assistance of Dr. Kaplan, showing grandparents of all ages and backgrounds how to develop a more rewarding bond with their grandchildren.
Topics covered include:
*how to establish a relationship
*managing visits
*suggestions for new and unusual activities
*giving presents.
Dr. Ruth and Dr. Kaplan also address the increasingly common situations of divorce, non-traditional families, and what happens when the grandparent becomes the parent.
