A guide to the transition into grandmotherhood

Sheila Kitzinger centers grandmotherhood as a significant family transition rather than a narrowly defined supporting role. The book addresses the practical and emotional dimensions of entering this new stage: finding personal satisfaction, navigating tensions within the family, strengthening communication, and offering emotional support. Its subject extends beyond time spent with grandchildren to the relationships among generations and the changing place of a grandmother within them. With its emphasis on understanding family dynamics, it presents grandmothering as an evolving role shaped by connection, boundaries, and care.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • New or expectant grandmothers considering their changing family role
  • Grandmothers seeking guidance on communication and family tensions
  • Readers interested in intergenerational family relationships

Book overview

Previous books on grandmothering have been either scholarly studies or jokey books intended to humor grannies along. Now comes a book that offers grandmothers what they really want.

Becoming a Grandmother explores the ways in which grandmothers can find satisfaction in their new roles, achieve a better understanding of family tensions, communicate more effectively, provide emotional support, and, most importantly, enjoy their grandchildren.
