So Now Youre a Grandparent

Packed with factual information, illustrated with true-life stories and conveyed with a light touch that mixes wisdom with humour, Dr Kim Gates has drawn on his lifetime of experience as a paediatrician to create this authoritative guide to grandparenting. So Now You're a Grandparent contains helpful suggestions on how to entertain your grandchildren, ideas for outings, making preparations for overnight and longer stays, child-proofing your home, and general safety advice and dealing with emergency situations. Kim also looks at the more serious issues of family breakdown and blended families, and where grandparents are taking on the role of the main child-carer.

Dr Kim Oates is currently Emeritus Professor of Paediatrics at the University of Sydney
