Becoming a Grandma, Being a Grandma

Your own path to good coexistence with grandchildren and children

When baby boomers become grandmothers, the question arises: how much grandma do I want to be, how much can I be? They have finally achieved some freedom - and now for many there is a conflict between their own expectations and those of their children and grandchildren. The psychologist Gundi Mayer-Rönne and Carina Manutscheri encourage people to shape their new role in the family universe according to their own ideas. This also includes actively facing possible conflicts about parenting styles, closeness or distance. Background knowledge from psychology and science, numerous tips, exercises and personal experiences show how relationships which strengthen grandparents, grandchildren and children alike can be successful. • Grandmothers play an increasingly important role in the family system • Psychological support for grandmothers • With lots of tips and exercises for building close relationships • Ideal as a gift book on the birth of the grandchildren ‘Grandmas can be so much more relaxed than mothers right from the start. A position in the second row can provide many opportunities and great happiness. This excellent book tells you how to achieve this.’ Linda Syllaba and Daniela Gaigg, authors of ‘Self-care for Mums’.
