Of the more than a million American grandparents who today are the sole caregivers for their grandchildren, most have found their lives changed, their finances challenged, and their parenting techniques antiquated with a new, and often traumatized, generation. An enlightening resource for all professionals who encounter this phenomenon and a perfect reading recommendation for grandparents and family members, this book offers compassion, encouragement, and fact-filled advice. It covers everything a grandparent needs to know to cope with the practical, day-to-day needs of raising a child today.This survival guide for raising a second family should be available in all schools and counseling offices, to be passed from grandparent to grandparent...Critical reading for counselors and school psychologists. - Intervention in School and Clinic
The book answers many of the questions grandparents have asked us in desperation and confusion. It fills an existing void of information and will be welcomed by the millions of grandparents that need its assistance and support. - Giovanna Stark, Executive Director, Child Development Programs Advisory Committee, Sacramento, CA
Through real-life examples, it gives us both the grandpare nts' and the social workers' perspective regarding family history, the value of group support, negotiating complex systems of services, and the importance of advocacy. The book ends with a call to action.
