This book responds in an approachable way to questions such as:
- What should be the function of grandparents? What is expected of them?
- And what do grandparents expect of their grandchildren?
- What do grandchildren get out of their relationship with their grandparents?
- And how do children view their parents now that they are also grandparents?
The book provides clear and precise explanations of the expectations, needs and demands surrounding grandchildren and grandparents living at the heart of family life, without forgetting other factors such as schools and current leisure trends.
