In his wide-ranging and insightful book, Don Schmitz defines the various roles grandparents can play in improving the lives of both parents and grandchildren. Schmitz’s book includes plenty of practical exercises, and he offers what is probably the best description of all for effective grandparenting…loving, learning, laughing, and listening.

If you are a new parent, this is the perfect gift for your parents. The New Face of Grandparenting is a thoughtful exploration of how grandparents can and should fit into families. Some of the points are timeless; parents being the final authority for their kids, grandparents often wanting to help but not communicating to their children and the claim that it's okay for grandparents to spoil children.
Great stuff and many thanks for writing such a fine book!

A Great Addition to the Family library, I wish "The New Face of Grandparenting" was available when my children were born. I would have bought 3 copies - one for me, one for my parents and one for the in-laws. It was overwhelming. Not only is it filled with insightful "How To" advice, but it's also a great read with delightful stories.
