The Grandfamily Guidebook: Wisdom and Support for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

“This is an excellent and comprehensive guide for grandparents finding themselves raising their grandchildren. It covers a wide range of topics that will assist in raising a child from infancy to the teen years.

In addition, the impact that this life changing event takes on the grandparent(s) themselves is also addressed. It takes a frank and honest look at how a grandparent would feel finding themselves in this situation. Raising a grandchild is not without its blessings and joys along the way but it is truly life changing.

The book gives hope, knowledge and a sense that one is not alone in navigating this challenging yet rewarding situation. Every grandparent raising a grandchild should have a copy of this book.” – Linda F.
