Second Time Around; Help for Grandparents Who Raise Their Children's Kids

Rating:
Summary: A timely how-to book for raising kids
Review: In view of this week's school tragedy in Colorado, this book offers practical and timely first-hand advice for grandparents, parents, teachers and other adults committed to raising responsible, caring human beings. Joan Callander puts her heart and her own painful experiences out there for those who want to learn more about the care and feeding of our most precious resource. Most poignant are her personal letters to her grandson, Zach, originally written never to be seen by others, but to help her see beyond the pain of the moment and stay whole. Zach is one lucky kid to have an extended family to love and support him and to have a grandma like Joan. Read it even if you don't have kids!

Summary: A must read if you're raising a grandchild!
Review: This book is personal, practical and well worth reading. As co-authors of Grandloving, we hear from a lot of grandparents, and one wrote to tell us that she had highlighted so many parts of First Time Around that she should have dipped the whole thing in yellow paint!
