For most of us, news of a grandchild's impending arrival will send us into a dizzying array of emotions. No single feeling fits the bill... How could it? The birth of a grandchild signals a new stage of your life - a new beginning. Grandparents today are generally healthier, busier and more likely to still be working when our first grandchild arrives than a generation ago. So your role can vary greatly -- from being the on-hand carer while parents go to work, to the long distance 'grand' who keeps in touch via emails, letters, photographs and presents. Or you may be somewhere in between -- providing regular supportive and fun contact with your grandchildren. However you choose to do it, there are great joys to be had rediscovering the passage of childhood for the third time and relearning the skills of parenting, once removed.Thing to Do Now That You're... a Grandparent provides the newly appointed Grandma or Grandpa with 600 ingenious, fun and creative ideas to explore.
