A warm, wise and practical guide to becoming the best grandparent - and parent - you can be

'Why does my daughter rebuff my advice?' 'Why was my dad never this patient with me?' 'I didn't expect to feel all this.' The birth of a grandchild is a cause for celebration. But when a child becomes a parent themselves, existing family structures are radically altered. Old tensions between parents and their adult children may come into sharp relief, while new relationships with in-laws must be navigated carefully. And at the heart of two families is a small person, whose life will benefit hugely from the love of their grandparents. In this warm, wise guide to being a modern grandparent, leading psychologist Terri Apter builds on cutting edge research as well as her own experience as a grandparent. Drawing on case studies from across the world, Apter examines the crucial and changing role that grandparents play in our society, from those grandparents who find themselves caring for a grandchild, to how to support a grandchild through their parents' divorce. This innovative book is for grandparents and for their adult children as they reimagine their relationships with each other, and become the best parents - and grandparents - that they can be.
