The Granny Nanny

<I>Think about it. In order to be grandmothers we once had to be mothers. After giving birth we as the mothers were responsible for our baby's/child's well being. As grandmothers on the other hand we have choices. Our roles are open for interpretation and conscious choices. When I became a grandmother and even when my daughters-in-law were pregnant I made a conscious decision to be an involved grandmother one of the caretakers or a Granny-Nanny.</p><p>I was sure that helping out and taking care of a baby would be easy like getting back on a bicycle after a twenty-year lapse. Oh how wrong I was. There are new rules new products new findings and plenty of taboos. How did my three children ever survive their hazardous childhoods?</I></P><p>Parenting rules have gone through some serious revisions since author Lois Young-Tulin raised her kids. In her helpful guide <I>The Granny Nanny</I> Young-Tulin offers a unique opportunity for today's grandmas to hone their skills and learn the twenty principles for successful grandmothering in a modern world.</p>
