No single feeling fits the bill... How could it? The birth of a grandchild signals a new stage of your life, a new beginning.

But the arrival of a new grandchild can open up an exciting new chapter for you, from being the go-to babysitter in the little one's life, to the fun older figure they look forwarding to visiting, or even the long-distance grandparent who keeps in touch via emails, letters, photographs and presents. Whichever way you choose to do it, becoming a grandparent will be one of the most challenging, rewarding, uplifting and important things you will ever do. This little book is the perfect gift for every grandparent, whether they are about to welcome their first grandchild or an experienced hand juggling multiple little ones.

For most of us, news of a grandchild's impending arrival will send us into a dizzying array of emotions. No single feeling fits the bill... How could it?

Grandparents today are generally healthier, busier and more likely to still be working when our first grandchild arrives than a generation ago. So your role can vary greatly -- from being the on-hand carer while parents go to work, to the long distance 'grand' who keeps in touch via emails, letters, photographs and presents. Or you may be somewhere in between -- providing regular supportive and fun contact with your grandchildren.
