<p>Ruth Westheimer, known to millions as Dr. Ruth, has been counselling Americans on how to foster and maintain their most intimate relationships for years. Now she turns her attention to the role of the grandparent in this guide that aims to help men and women of all ages and backgrounds develop a more rewarding bond with their children's children. In this age of non-traditional families, day-care challenges and decreasing sexual stereotypes, the role of the grandparent has never been more critical. Dr. Westheimer shows grandparents how to take advantage of their unique position to help enrich their own lives as well as the lives of their grandchildren's - and not feel overwhelmed in the process. Covering a host of general topics, including how to establish a relationship, managing visits, suggestions for new and unusual activities, and giving wisely, Dr. Westheimer also addresses the increasingly common situations of divorce, non-traditional and multi-cultural families, and what happens when the grandparent becomes the parent. She also pays special tribute to grandfathers, a largely neglected but increasingly important figure in every child's life.</p>
