Secrets of Great Parents
Parenting is as exhausting as it is rewarding, and the benefits are not always immediately evident. The skills required to be an effective teacher, disciplinarian, mentor and communicator are crucial for the successful parent-child relationship, but unfortunately, many parents have not had the opportunity to fully learn and acquire these skills. Our children, and society as a whole, will benefit tremendously if more parents take the time to educate themselves about raising children in a supportive and loving way. Anyone who cares deeply for their child has the ability to be an excellent parent. Good parenting doesn t require money and material things. Good parenting requires love, dedication, and knowledge. Secrets of Great Parents is a guide to parenting that includes learning, teaching, discovery, observation and future thought. At its core is the concept that every family is unique and all families have strengths. The best parents discover that it takes learning, love, and laughter to live in a health, happy and strong family.

Secrets of Great Grandparents
Based on interviews with many grandparents and members of parent groups, this guide addresses the uncertainties grandparents feel about their roles, especially if they live far away from their grandchildren. The discussion shows that the lives of grandparents today are a reflection of changes in society and that they may have to reinvent themselves. The secrets offered are meant to be uplifting as well as practical and include tips on awareness, balance, communication, discipline, health, knowledge, and joy. Within each chapter are ideas for outings and activities at home, with reminders about planning ahead, age-appropriate expectations, and coping with meltdowns. Other topics include family traditions and holidays, as well as the quandary about what grandpa and grandma want to be called.
