From "the Dr. Spock of grandparenting" (NBC Tom Brokaw), the definitive guide to coping with the challenges of modern grandparentingThe American family has undergone profound structural changes over the past few decades. In a world of inter-racial, inter-religious, inter-ethnic marriages, divorce and remarriage, single, step, and alternative families, adoptions, surrogacy, in vitro fertilization...many of today's healthy, vibrant, and long-lived, baby boomer grandparents feel overwhelmed--stranded without a road map. Written by the man who "started the grandparent revolution in America" (CBS Dan Rather), The Grandparent Guide offers them such a map, and much more.

It features an abundance of thoroughly cross-referenced topics of vital concern to grandparents and other family members. Directly and accessibly, in a warm, witty voice, Dr. Kornhaber offers readers professional, practical, and well as anecdotal information that they can apply immediately to "enhance the positive, and eliminate the negative" in their personal lives. He also steers readers to a gold mine of valuable resources, including books, support groups, and websites, including his own www.grandparenting.org website where readers can access the latest research and resources, breaking news, details on recent grandparent and family-related issues, legislation, and more.

A beautiful meditation on the joys of being a grandparent and a practical guide to help you and your adult children make the most of your relationship with a grandchild. For many grandparents, a grandchild offers a second chance to become the parent they didn’t have the time or the energy to be when raising their own children. Being a grandparent, family relationships expert Jane Isay argues, is the opportunity to turn missed opportunities into delight. Drawing on her personal experience, dozens of interviews, and the latest findings in psychology, Isay shows how a grandparent can use his or her unique perspective and experience to create a deep and lasting bond that will echo throughout a grandchild’s life. She explores the realities of today’s multigenerational families, identifying problems and offering solutions to enhance love, trust, and understanding between grandparents, parents, and grandchildren. She also offers a wealth of practical advice, from when to get involved, when to stay away, and how to foster a strong relationship when you’re separated by long distance. Unconditional Love advocates for honest conversation, thinking in the long run and healing breaches in order to be together, understanding that most of us try to do our best and need to be forgiven if we fail. Isay argues that secrets and surprises may tilt the boat but won’t necessarily sink it and that grandparents and their grown children are happier when they give each other the benefit of the doubt. Most importantly, she writes, the advent of grandchildren offers families the opportunity for healing and redemption—if we seize the moment. In lovely prose and through delightful stories, Isay shows us how we can. A great gift for grandparents-to-be and a wonderful resource for all, Unconditional Love is a beautiful and psychologically astute look at what it means to be an engaged grandparent.

Ready or not, you're a grandparent! How did you get here so fast? No one consults you about this new role. It is handed to you without your advice or consent. So now that you're here at this new stage of life, the question before you is, what are you going to make of it? This book will help you find your answer and assist you in developing a plan for your grandparenting. It will dispel the myths and "tell it like it is." You'll learn that other grandparents feel just as you do. It will guide you to become aware of the possibilities, encourage you to trust your intuition, and teach you how to set goals so that you can make the most of this essential role. Just as babies don't come with instructions for parents, they certainly don't come with instructions for grandparents! The joys of grandparenting are available to all. It's healthy for us, the older generation, to nurture the young. It is our natural task to influence the future in this way. There are no requirements for a grandparent to be of a certain color, educational level, lifestyle or economic class. However, just loving our children and grandchildren is not enough. The joy comes from our ingenuity, energy and determination to provide stability and purpose. It is ours for the doing.
