Description
This manual is a 14-session workshop designed to help grandparents who are raising their grandchildren alone. Professionals that use the manual can revise and expand upon the themes presented here to fit the needs of their particular work groups. Some of the main issues that are explored are: useful tips for grandparents on how to communicate effectively with their grandchildren on all topics ranging from drugs, sex, and sexually transmitted diseases, helping them learn how to deal with loss and abandonment issues, helping them develop and maintain self-esteem, dealing with their special behavior problems, as well as appropriate ways of instilling and maintaining rules in the home. Designed to complement ""To Grandmother's House We Go And Stay"", it is very reader-friendly and easy to understand, and can be read by anyone who has assumed a parenting role of any sort and is interested in raising a happy and healthy child.
