This review is from: Get Ready to Be a Grandmother: in Less Than Nine Months! (Hardcover)
There are a million books on parenting but not many that address the uniqueness of the role of grandparents in the life of a child. This book does that but it also offers excellent reminders for effective communication with your adult child and almost parent. Dr. Susan brings insight, personal experience and an exceptional amount of research to the topic of becoming a grandma. She tackles the topic of financial security for your grandchild's future with enough information to get one started in considering would be right for each family. I am not sure most of us seriously take a hard look at that in the beginning. She made me realize that all of those wonderful little "things" I have purchased for grandchildren aren't quite as important as the time I spend with them and the memories I try to make. I would recommend this book for anyone who is going to become a first time gramma or adding another grandchild to the family.

This review is from: Get Ready to Be a Grandmother: in Less Than Nine Months! (Hardcover)
Waiting patiently for your new miracle,is hard to do. But, through bonds that are strengthed by the preparation suggested by Dr. Susan, your changed world will "rock". This Guidebook has suttle and natural advice. Suggestions are reasonable and helpful. Dr. Susan addresses a wide range of emotions, money matters,and how to perserve your family traditions and legacy. She prepares the grandmother's heart, mind and home. This is a must read for new Grandmothers but also a good resource for anyone expecting the joy of a new grandchild.
