How to Really Love Your Grandchild D. Ross Campbell, MD Regal ISBN: 0-8307-4666-8 Non-Fiction, Grandparenting Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

As grandparents, our only job is to love and enjoy these wonderful little creatures. Loving our grandchildren is easy. It’s the most amazing experience in the world.

Still, grandparenting in today’s modern world does provide a few challenges. Your life might have been quite different from your parents and grandparents. For the most part, our own parents and grandparents lived in a child-friendly, family oriented society. Television shows and movies were geared towards family entertainment. Communities were designed for raising children. No one thought twice about disciplining a wayward child, even if that child wasn’t yours.

Obviously, this has changed. We may not have raised our own children in the “malt-shop era”. However, our own values are still based upon these generalized views which continued into the 80’s. Therefore, we have to be extremely careful about judgmental reactions as they won’t help our grandchildren.

How to Really Love Your Grandchild is a wonderful resource to help grandparents through these and other issues. Being a young grandmother, I never realized how different my grandson’s world will be compared to my own childhood. Perhaps that just makes my role as grandmother that much more important.
