By Lois Young-Tulin
Think about it. In order to be grandmothers we once had to be mothers. After giving birth, we, as the mothers, were responsible for our baby's/child's well being. As grandmothers, on the other hand, we have choices. Our roles are open for interpretation and conscious choices. When I became a grandmother, and even when my daughters-in-law were pregnant, I made a conscious decision to be an involved grandmother, one of the caretakers or a Granny-Nanny. I was sure that helping out and taking care of a baby would be easy like getting back on a bicycle after a twenty-year lapse. Oh, how wrong I was. There are new rules, new products, new findings and plenty of taboos. How did my three children ever survive their hazardous childhoods? Parenting rules have gone through some serious revisions since author Lois Young-Tulin raised her kids. In her helpful guide, The Granny Nanny, Young-Tulin offers a unique opportunity for today's grandmas to hone their skills and learn the twenty principles for successful grandmothering in a modern world.

By Eugene N. Smith
Standing outside a preschool playground, watching children at play, we may catch a fleeting glimpse of something other than the tears of angels. These young lives are far from the horizons established for us adults by television talk shows and popular magazines. They have no goals or plans, no programs of self-talk, self-awareness, or stress reduction; they are simply living life. They are like the lilies of the field; they are clothed with the splendor of living without any concern for tomorrow. When they fall, their tears are without shame. When someone hurts them, they hurt back without enduring resentment. They know what they want. When they love, they love without restraint, and their anger is devoid of malice. In realizing their smallness in a huge world, and discerning loves inefficiency, fear eclipses their hearts causing them to die as children and in so doing they become adults, seeking out programs of self-talk, self-awareness, and stress reduction, desperately looking for a way to resurrect the mystery of life they had once known. In Songs of Life, a grandfather rediscovers the simple joys and meanings of living by playing with his grandson, and through that experience recognizes what he lost of himself in becoming an adult.

Take a delightful little girl, a grandfather in his seventies and a truckload of diapers...stir well and mix in a lot of love and you have a wonderfully humorous reading experience that people of all ages can enjoy and identify with. Follow this first-time Grandpa, who through a strange turn of events, ends up playing full-time nanny to his infant granddaughter. Watch him maneuver through the mechanics of diapering, bathing and feeding without losing his sense of humor. This is not a how-to book. If anything, it is probably more of a how-not-to book.

By Elaine Denholtz
This groundbreaking book of true stories about grandparents and parents pulls no punches. Ten grandparents-41 to 82, black, white, Asian, and Hispanic, working and retired, healthy and ill, rich and poor-talk about their triumphs and despair. LIN leaves Taiwan to become the nanny to his granddaughters in America. JUDY contends with angry step-grandkids who hate her daughter. KEISHA, ex-prostitute and drug addict, enrolls in college and raises four grandkids. Each grandparent offers SMART TIPS about long distance grandparenting, helping out during a bitter divorce, and working together as team players. The wisdom grandparents pass on provides compelling opportunities for family discussions and dramatic material for professional workshops. "The Extra Parent is a collection of poignant and powerful accounts of the special bonds between grandparents and grandchildren. It helps us to understand the strength of these connections as well as the hardships that intergenerational families endure."
-Deborah Langosch, ACSW New York City Kincare Task Force "Denholtz's portraits drive home the uniqueness of grandparental love-unconditional and healing. It's about time that grandparents and their indefatigable spirit were recognized as a great American resource."
-Gerard Wallace, Esq. Grandparents Caregiver Law Center "A great resource for workshop facilitators and for those leading grandparenting support groups. Provides a great kick-off for many areas of discussion."
-Reuben D. Rotman, Jewish Family Services of MetroWest "Denholtz reveals the hearts of grandparents from every strata of society. Their dedication, commitment, and sacrifices inspire us and deserve our admiration."
