The Role of Grandparents in Young Children's Lives
Bowman, Barbara T.
Zero to Three (J), v32 n3 p34-37 Jan 2012
Barbara T. Bowman, MA, the Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Development at Erikson Institute, discusses the important roles that grandparents play in the lives of their grandchildren. Dr. Bowman offers suggestion for how to approach the grandparenting role, including setting boundaries, maintaining open communication, and valuing the differences between the generations. Grandparents are a rich source of support for families with young children and receive as much as they give when building strong, enduring bonds with their grandchildren.
