Becoming Grandma

the Joys and Science of the New Grandparenting
May 03, 2017darladoodles rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
This book was a lot of things -- a memoir of Lesley's experience of becoming a grandmother; grandparent trends around the world including her peers, anecdotes from her work as a journalist and finally a call to arms for grandparents everywhere. The parts describing grandparents who are excluded from the grandchildren's lives to be particularly frightening as I am now a grandparent myself. I am in a different generation from Lesley, though and had a very different childrearing experience so did not relate to her perspective as well as some might. Interesting read, but not particularly earthshattering.
