The Small Manual for Grandparents
From the grandchildren's point of view, grandparents occupy a privileged place in the adult world. Their role is very diverse: from taking care of a newborn to listening to a troubled adolescent. A good relationship with the parents or the parent in charge of the child is essential. But where should grandparents fit in?
This book provides answers to this and other questions such as: What role(s) can they play; do they have the right to interfere; how far can they go with their advice; how can they find their place when the family is being put back together; how can they help grandchildren cope with life's difficulties; how can they intervene in the transmission of family history; and how can they be involved in the transmission of the family's history?
