  Becoming a grandmother introduces new and complex relationships to a woman's life, often modifying her self-perception. This handbook reveals how becoming a grandparent is a challenging, rewarding and fun time. Dr Joan Gomez takes the reader through the experience from the moment the news breaks to the enjoyment of relationships with teenage grandchildren. Illustrated by case studies, the book provides ideas for activities that grandparents and grandchildren can enjoy together. Many aspects of grandparenthood are covered in practical detail: a new role, new relationships with grandchildren (covering children of different ages, with special needs and those who are adopted), changing relationships with their own children, husbands, partners, legal implications, jobs, politics, education, health service and needing to be cared for.
