The Bubbe Diaries
ByPublisher Description
When New York Times columnist Paula Span found out she was going to become a grandmother, she went in search of the perfect grandparenting guide but came up short. Where was Dr. Spock for the silver-haired set? In The Bubbe Diaries, Span picks up where Spock left off. She passes along the latest research on sleep, safety, and bonding; explores why mothers-in-law may have tension with daughters-in-law; and shows how baby boomers are finding their own way through grandparenting. Along the way she shares sweet (and funny) stories about helping to raise her own young granddaughter.
"Listening to The Bubbe Diaries is like sitting down with a friend and fellow grandmother, chatting candidly about what it means to be a grandparent, how the role evolves in each family (and why it's important to talk to the parents about everyone's expectations for that), trips to the playground, long child care days, playtime and virtual grandparenting, alongside more weighty matters like family estrangement and even death." –Julie Pfitzinger, Nextavenue.org
