With baby boomers swelling the ranks of grandparents, there is a large and growing audience
for Let's Grandparent. There are no other books on the market with the variety of content or
perspective presented in this book. With its emphasis upon the crucial early years, it has
special appeal for new grandparents and those with young grandchildren. During this
honeymoon period grandparents are typically enthusiastic about their new role and eager to
learn all they can to make the most of time spent with their grandchildren. They want it to be
fun, have an educational value, and strengthen close intimate bonds. Let's Grandparent shows
them how to achieve these goals through an in-depth understanding of child development,
over four hundred kid-tested activities and tips for simple but satisfying experiences together.
The author brings together her personal experience as an enthusiastic grandparent with her
professional career in early childhood education to create this insightful and enjoyable guide.
