Description
This empowering guide is the leading
resource for the growing numbers of grandparents confronted with the
challenges (and joys) of childrearing all over again. Providing urgently
needed information, emotional support, and practical pointers, the
authors cover everything from caring for vulnerable kids—and setting
boundaries with their often-troubled parents—to navigating the maze of
government aid, court proceedings, and special education. Wise, honest,
moving stories show how numerous grandparents are surviving and thriving
in their new roles. Updated throughout, and reflecting current laws and
policies affecting families, the second edition features new
discussions of kids' technology use and special issues when a parent is
incarcerated.

commitment haven't diminished, and presents policy changes and resources
that grandparents should know about."--Donna M. Butts, Executive
Director, Generations United
