by
Lee Edwards Benning
An invaluable,
hands-on guide for the single parent/working couple as well as
the grandparent(s) who must work together to provide the most
loving, best care possible for a child or the children they
love.
(January 2006)
Grandparents who provide part or full-time child care
for their own children’s children are everywhere, at every age
group and in every culture. No one in this situation should be
without this book. THE GRANNY-NANNY: A Guide for Parents &
Grandparents Who Share Child Care by Lee Edwards Benning (Cleveland
Clinic Press/Trade Paperback Books; January 2006) is a
complete and total resource for both the parent and
grandparent who find this to be the best or the only solution
to childcare.
This Cleveland
Clinic Press book is one of a series on specific subjects
such as child care, dozens of medical disorders, cooking, the
therapeutic value of music, and other topics that help fulfill
our mission to increase health literacy and dispel myths and
misinformation about medicine, health care, and treatment.
With the rising
number of both parents needing to work to provide a requisite
family income – and with child-care costs skyrocketing – the
past decade has seen the number of grandparents providing
child care rise dramatically. The number of grandparents who
have taken on this vital role has nearly doubled between 1998
and 2003 alone.
In the coming
year, at least 79 percent of grandparents will experience the
joys, as well as tribulations, of daily child care. Author Lee
Edwards Benning, a real-life, full-time granny-nanny, has
written the definitive guide for grandparents who care for
their grandchildren of any age while their parents work.
