5.0 out of 5 stars Grandparenting 101
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2009
My pregnant daughter-in-law gave this to me. This will be our first grandchild. We are thrilled and excited, but it has been decades since I was looking to purchase port a cribs, car seats etc.

The writing is clear and fun. She gives very specific advice about what to buy and what is not necessary. She handles big issues of not interfering or criticizing, but in a humorous way we can all relate to.

After I read this slim book, I ordered more to give to my friends who are lucky to be joining the ranks of grandparents. This is a keeper!

My husband and I are about to have the first grandchildren for both sides of our family. I wanted to get the grandmas an interesting read for Christmas this year and after reviewing other titles and reading reviews I thought this is the one. I am so glad I made that decision. I gave it a quick read before passing along and thought it was lighthearted, but full of some great information and good reminders for folks who haven't had small children in the family for a while. I also appreciated discussions about letting the parents decide on discipline and schedules and to be supportive. As a new mom I know I'll get tons of advice!! My mom, stepmom and his mother have all raved about it and all seem to be reading and enjoying the contents. I have a feeling the grandpas will be reading it next. Makes a great gift for those anxious grandparents!!

2.0 out of 5 stars It truly is ABC. Very basic
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2008
This book is VERY basic and just a guide to surface grandparenting. If you are past this and looking for solutions to issues, it is not very helpful. Becoming a Grandmother and Essential Grandparenting were much more helpful w/ offering solutions for me. I agree that it is a great gift for a first time grandmother before the baby is born, if given by a friend. If given by a daughter or in-law, it could require some real diplomacy in the presentation!
