Grandparents as Parents: A Survival Guide for Raising a Second Family By Sylvie de Toledo / Guilford Press Grandparents as Parents accurately conveys the themes that are the most central to grandparents who are raising grandchildren, but the names and identifying characteristics of most of the grandparents and grandchildren mentioned in the book have been changed in order to protect their privacy. Grandparents as Parents represents the work of two authors, yet it is written from one point of view. This book is designed as both a book and a manual. You can read it front to back, following the grandparent stories that span the chapters, or you can turn to whatever chapter addresses your immediate questions, without worrying about order. |
