Things to Do Now That You're a Grandparent

By Amy Goyer

Book Overview

Filled with fun, inspirational and inventive things to do as you embark on the role of a lifetime, now that you're a Grandparent.

Grandparents make the world a little softer, a little kinder, and a little warmer.

For most of us, news of a grandchild's impending arrival will send us into a dizzying array of emotions. No single feeling fits the bill... How could it? The birth of a grandchild signals a new stage of your life, a new beginning.

Grandparents today are generally healthier, busier and may still be working when their first grandchild arrives than a generation ago. So your role can vary greatly: from being the on-hand carer while parents go to work, to the long distance grandparent who keeps in touch via emails, letters, photographs and presents. Or you may be somewhere in between, providing regular support to your children while also bringing a little fun into the lives of your grandchildren. However you choose to do it, there are great joys to be had rediscovering the passage of childhood for the third time and being taking an important role in the life of a little one.

This little book is packed with fun, creative and practical advice for grandparents. Whether you are a first-time grandparent or you're trying to find new ways to create life-changing experiences with your grandchildren, Things to do now that you're a Grandparent is the book for you.

Great Gift!

This books offers practical and also fun advice and ideas for Grandparents........whether new or experienced at grandparenting!! This makes an awesome gift.........especially when you are struggling with not knowing what to give!!!

Great gft, particularly for a first time grandparent!

While it may seem intuitive to be a grandparent, especially if you've been a parent, I always prefer to get fresh ideas from someone else as well, and thisbook is perfect for that. I loved that there is no talking down or lecturing, just loads of great ideas and some fresh ways for me to think. Bravo!

Good for great-aunts, too!

This book is so helpful. First of all, the tips in list-form work well for me: easy to browse through, very clear, practical, with lots of new ideas. Each suggestion tells 'just enough,' and I never felt intimidated. I thought I knew lots of little tricks for staying in touch with my three young great-nephews, but I found many more here. Highly recommended by this great-aunt.

Solid advice

Finally, Amy Goyer has put her substantial experience in grandparenting into a book. It's chock full of practical advice that will align with your instincts -- and maybe even take your relationship with your grandchild a bit deeper. Bravo!
