The relationship between grandparent and grandchild is more important to families than ever before, with 7 million UK grandparents providing childcare. But while the joys of being a grandparent are widely celebrated, some challenges are generally brushed under the carpet, such as:
- Managing the tensions and delicate dynamics that a grandchild innocently introduces;
- Treading on eggshells with daughters- and sons-in-law;
- Biting your lip with adult children;
- Feeling taken for granted.
Author, journalist and grandparent Celia Dodd speaks to grandmothers and grandfathers and draws on the latest research to better understand how to manage your emotions, time and energy alongside other commitments and dreams. Whether you’re a grandma, dada, nanny or pops, Grandparenting encourages you to celebrate your age and experience as a strength – not a weakness – and shows how to channel your wisdom and empathy into nurturing deep and lasting family relationships.
