Grandparents have changed! The stereotype of the fragile, white-haired retiree has been shattered. Today's grandparents are active and involved- in everything from careers to fitness to dating. They are thirty-something to one hundred plus- and every age in between. Grandparent's roles have also changed, as have many of their situations. While some may be grandparenting within a traditional family, others may be facing new challenges such as: acting as a stablizing force during times of family upheaval, providing day care for a grandchild, furnishing temporary living arrangements for an adult child and grandchild, filling the role of Mom and Dad for a grandchild, blending stepgrandchildren with biological grandchildren. Whatever the unique situation, parenting experts Jim Fay and Foster W Cline, M.D., show grandparents how to develop enjoyable, fulfilling relationships with both thier adult children- while helping grandchildren grow into responsible, caring young people.

I've not only read several of the "Love and Logic" series of books, but was first introduced to Love and Logic as an elementary and middle school teacher in the 1990's. We found many valuable teaching methods to help us deal with many different situations that arise in the classroom. Later on, as a parent, my husband and I took some classes on "parenting with love and logic" and again found many useful tools to use in our arsenal of ideas to help us be the best parents we could be with our kids. We have three between the ages of 9 months and 9 years!!! We need all the tools and great ideas we can get!I am now purchasing the "Grandparenting with Love and Logic" book for my parents to help them remember how to be "grandparents" and not "Parents" to my brothers and my kids.The previous review really baffles me... Focus on the Family is a great program by Dr. James Dobson, who also has written some wonderful books. Yes, it's a Christian based program... so if you have an issue with this... then there ya go! THis series of books are NOT written by Dr. JAmes Dobson however!!! Obviously, the previous reviewer has some serious issues with Christianity and was very politically motivated in his own review of these books.Get these books if you want to add some great and very powerful tools to your toolbox for raising kids and grandkids! I highly recommend taking any classes if they come to your area as well!!! This program is used in the PUBLIC schools ALL across the USA for training teachers (and has been for the last 2 decades!)... they MUST be doing something right!!!
B. Beaux's review is not even for this book - it seems as though his political agenda should be put in a blog not a book review. I was a teacher so I am extremely familiar with Love and Logic - they are based out of Evergreen - not Colorado Springs and have no affiliation with any "christian cult".I gave this book to my mother and it is so refreshing to have parents and grandparents on the same page as far as dealing with the kids goes. It helps avoid a ton of potential arguements. My mother and father just loved it! They actually told me they wished this was around when I was younger because they would have loved to use it on me (I was a bit of a trouble maker).
I found the practical advise that I needed to be able to deal with my 7 grandkids (all under 8). Easy to read and easy to apply. Good solid advise about how to deal with your grown up kids and their children. Exactly what I was looking for when searching for grandparenting guideance.
We started using this parenting technique and I wanted something to help the grandparents understand how they could apply the principles to interacting with our child. While I had no expectations that they would actually follow through with the solutions in this book, thankfully the techniques discussed are simple enough that grandparents may actually consider implementing them ...it doesn't take away from the fun of grandparenting!
As all parents of adult children, I wondered when does the parenting stop. Now we only support the family and love them all. This book gave us strategies to do just that. How to open conversations with your children and grandchildren. How to help your children by exploring avenues with your grandchildren. Perhaps the most difficult task, how to support your children's parenting techniques without fullly believing in their effectiveness. As grandparents, we need to know our place and where we can most effectively help these young families. Great book, easy to read and apply to every day situations. The book is divided into areas like family structure, the grandparent's role within that structure, and how to enjoy the role of grandparent.
this book is fantastic! grandparents can no longer just spoil them and send them home. too many parents need help with the parenting. really wish I had this book earlier, but better late than never. it tells you how to use each misbehavior as a teaching tool.
I read Parenting with Love & Logic as our grandchildren are successfully being raised this way. I was pleased to find out that the authors had a book specifically for us grandparents. The principles are explained clearly and examples are given of how to apply them. I think the ideas can be helpful in other relationships with children such as Sunday School teaching.
I'm a new grandparent and don't have any grandmothers that I would want to use as a model. Being a grandparent is SO different from being a parent and I needed some foundational help! This concept is common sense, treats a child with respect and gives both grandparent and child the ability to think for themselves from the beginning -- teaches responsibility and boundaries for BOTH child and grandparent. Highly recommend it!!
