Customer Reviews

"I am thrilled with Dr. Gail Crossley-Craven timely book. With piercing insight she has written a wonderful story about the value of caring of Grandparents in the lives of young children. It's story that will be dear to the hearts of children and parents as it reveals how a wise a grandparent carefully quiets the fear of his granddaughter by using his wisdom and life experience when fear strikes. I believe Crossley-Craven's book will serve to help grandparents understand that by being truly present in the lives of their grandchildren they are able to intervene when the world of a child suddenly becomes troubled. In our complex world children are often left to face fearful situations on their own. In her book Crossley-Craven has given the reader a gift by showing that available grandparents can be the right persons at their right time to help their grandchildren learn the important lesson that problems can be solved as they begin to navigate through the tough times that life will surely offer them in the future.
Crossley-Craven has wisely added a series of activities to help grandparents better understand and appreciate their vital role as guardians of their grandchildren's well being.?
