Helping Your Grandchildren Through Their Parents’ Divorce

“The role of grandparents in today’s families is more important than ever–especially in families caught in the anguish of divorce. This thoughtful guide offers practical advice and inspiration for grandparents trying to help their grandchildren survive their parents’ breakup. In a compassionate yet practical tone, Joan Schrager Cohen combines personal experience with real-life stories to illustrate 1. how grandparents should talk to grandchildren about the divorce 2. hands-on activities if grandparents live nearby 3. ways to offer grandchildren long-distance support 4. how to relate to the in-laws, including other grandparents 5. guidelines for maintaining family traditions 6. the legal rights of grandparents 7. what to do and who to ask for legal advice, family therapy, or practical assistance. Two appendixes–resources for grandparents’ networking and state-by-state statutes on grandparents’ visitation rights—expand this important book.”
