Book excerpt: Repackaged in a colorful, eye-catching jacket, this bestselling, inspirational quote book makes the perfect gift for the special people in our lives. To most of us, our grandma and grandpa are special people who have nurtured us from childhood into adulthood. A warm hug, freely given cookies and candy, a chance to stay up past bedtime are special memories that only our grandparents have given us. Today's grandparents are just as likely to serve chicken nuggets as chicken soup and teach a computer game instead of a card game. Still, grandparents are always different from parents, allowed to spoil a child with the special love they give. Grandparents Are Special is a loving tribute to those who seem to nurture with great patience, a celebration of the unique role grandparents play in our lives. Filled with anecdotes, poems, and quotes, this book is a perfect gift to those very special people.

Download or read book Grandparents and the Law written by Samantha M Davey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should grandparents have rights in relation to their grandchildren? If so, what should the content of those rights be, both procedurally and substantively? And what is the appropriate role of the law in providing solutions to problems arising in the context of grandparents' rights? This book considers these questions from both a public and a private law perspective, and analyses the human rights implications for parties such as children, parents and grandparents. It also explores the topic of grandparents' rights in the context of the European Convention on Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as in other jurisdictions, such as Iran, France and Nepal. The book argues that grandparents' rights have so far received insufficient acknowledgement and, consequently, that relationships between grandparents and grandchildren have received insufficient protection. However, it is crucial that the protection of grandparents' rights is balanced with the rights of parents and the rights and welfare of children; the book considers how best to achieve this, for example in disputes on child arrangements (i.e. residence and contact), child protection matters and in adoption cases. The book is of particular interest to all academics seeking a clear framework for the protection of grandparents' rights in private and public law proceedings.
Download or read book Unconditional Love written by Jane Isay and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful meditation on the joys of being a grandparent and a practical guide to help you and your adult children make the most of your relationship with a grandchild. For many grandparents, a grandchild offers a second chance to become the parent they didn’t have the time or the energy to be when raising their own children. Being a grandparent, family relationships expert Jane Isay argues, is the opportunity to turn missed opportunities into delight. Drawing on her personal experience, dozens of interviews, and the latest findings in psychology, Isay shows how a grandparent can use his or her unique perspective and experience to create a deep and lasting bond that will echo throughout a grandchild’s life. She explores the realities of today’s multigenerational families, identifying problems and offering solutions to enhance love, trust, and understanding between grandparents, parents, and grandchildren. She also offers a wealth of practical advice, from when to get involved, when to stay away, and how to foster a strong relationship when you’re separated by long distance. Unconditional Love advocates for honest conversation, thinking in the long run and healing breaches in order to be together, understanding that most of us try to do our best and need to be forgiven if we fail. Isay argues that secrets and surprises may tilt the boat but won’t necessarily sink it and that grandparents and their grown children are happier when they give each other the benefit of the doubt. Most importantly, she writes, the advent of grandchildren offers families the opportunity for healing and redemption—if we seize the moment. In lovely prose and through delightful stories, Isay shows us how we can. A great gift for grandparents-to-be and a wonderful resource for all, Unconditional Love is a beautiful and psychologically astute look at what it means to be an engaged grandparent.

Download or read book Grandparents in Cultural Context written by David W. Shwalb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grandparents in Cultural Context gives a long overdue global view of the changing roles of grandparents. The eleven main chapters are by experts in the Americas, Europe and Russia, Asia, and Africa and the Middle East, and the editors integrate their chapters with previous writings on grandparenthood. Rather than technical or statistical research reports, each chapter provides a thought-provoking and comprehensive review of research, real-life case stories, cultural influences, and applied implications for grandparenthood across and within societies. Calling special attention to the roles of grandfathers and grandparenthood in societies previously un-represented in the literature, it provides several hundred new citations of work previously unavailable in English-language publications. Accessible to both scholars and students, it has several pedagogical features (e.g. web links, discussion questions) that make it useful as a text for upper-division undergraduate or graduate level classes in behavioral, social, and family sciences. It is relevant to psychology, gerontology, family studies, anthropology, family/comparative sociology, education, social work, gender studies, ethnic studies, psychiatry, and diversity and international studies programs. Practitioners, service providers, policymakers, and internationally minded grandparents will also enjoy this book.
Download or read book A Special Day for Grandparents written by Genevieve (Genny) Aguon Arbitrario and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story depicts family values which emphasize love, respect and the sense of belonging. Every family has their "identified" family values that are passed on to children, grandchildren and to the next generation. Family gathering to celebrate birthdays, holidays and spending time together as a family, creates that sense of belonging. Family time, such as family dinner, sharing stories, and play time give children this foundation. In the story, the three children, Sye, Tomas, and Venida wanted to show love and appreciation by honoring their grandparents their own way. Honoring grandparents and treating them with care, love, and respect are the basis of family values instill in the children's family life. Sye, Tomas and Venida started their own family tradition by celebrating Grandparent's Day with the family every Thanksgiving Day. Why not create your family tradition? Be creative and let your family tradition start with you.
Download or read book Parentless Parents written by Allison Gilbert and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parentless Parents is the first book to show how the absence of grandparents impacts everything about the way mothers and fathers raise their children--from everyday parenting decisions to the relationships they have with their spouses and in-laws. For the first time in U.S. history, as the average age of women giving birth has increased significantly, millions of children are at risk of having fewer years with their grandparents than ever before. How has this substantial shift affected parents and kids? Journalist, award-winning television producer, and parentless parent Allison Gilbert has polled and studied more than 1,300 parentless parents from across the United States and a dozen other countries to find out. Through her pioneering research, Gilbert not only shares her own story and the significant and poignant effect that this trend has had on her and hundreds of other families, but also the myriad ways these mothers and fathers have learned to keep the memory of their parents alive for their children, and to find the support and understanding they need.
