Offers advice to grandparents raising grandchildren on approaching parenthood a second time, including tips for setting boundaries between children and troubled parents, navigating court proceedings, and dealing with financial issues. - Book News
De Toledo, who runs a nonprofit organization that supports grandparents who are parents of grandchildren, and Brown, a journalist and poet, offer a resource for grandparents who are caregivers of children to guide them through stressful times. It addresses common problems they face and suggestions for coping with them, as well as information on government aid, proceedings, and special education. It covers the personal and social aspects of raising grandchildren, including taking immediate action, lifestyle changes, effects on spouses and other children, dealing with problems from adult children and troubled grandchildren, school issues, addiction and drug-exposed children, and what to do when parents get their children back; legal issues, child protection and the dependency system, and public assistance; and finding, starting, and sustaining support groups. This edition has been updated to reflect recent laws, procedures, data, and policies and adds new discussions of kids' technology use and other issues. It omits the chapter on political action, expands the section on dealing with incarcerated parents, and adds discussion of expanding the services of support groups.
