GLORIOUS GRANDPARENTING: HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE WITH YOUR GRANDCHILDREN
Book ID/图书代码： 11340010B40350
English Summary/英文概要： Grandparenting is not what it used to be. For the younger generation, an apple or blackberry has a whole new meaning and they will never know what it means to ‘wait for the TV to warm up’.
As the proud, keen and enthusiastic grandmother to nine wonderful grandchildren, Gloria Hunniford knows a thing or two about keeping up with them. For nearly two decades they have brought her unimaginable joy and, frankly, kept her on her toes.
In Glorious Grandparenting she shares her ideas on what to do when the grandchildren come to stay, how to keep pace with them as they grow older, as well as many of her own treasured memories: playing ‘animal, vegetable, mineral’ on long car journeys to Cornwall, eating picnic lunches in a tent pitched in the garden and practising dance moves to be performed at family parties.
For many grandparents these days, life isn’t always easy. In this book, Gloria speaks to those who feel ‘taken for granted’ as a childminder, have conflicting views on childcare, or, sadly have become separated from their grandchildren. She looks at the controversial lack of legal rights for grandparents and offers advice and guidance on handling these emotive issues.
Having grandchildren and spending time with them is one of life’s great joys. Glorious Grandparenting is a wonderful celebration of what it is to be a grandparent today.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 祖父母的养育如今已经不似从前。对于年轻的一代来说，一个苹果或者是一个黑莓的意义已经有了新解，而且他们从来也不懂什么是“等待电视直播”。
作为九个孙子女的祖母，格洛里亚·亨尼福德感到十分自豪，对于照顾孩子这样的事情绝对不只是略知一二。因为在将近二十年的时间里，她几乎被孩子们当作了玩具，照看孩子也让她忙得不可开交。
在《光荣的培养》一书中，作者就孙子女出生到成长过程中祖父母需要做到的事情分享了自己的观点，其中许多来自于她的实际经验，比如说，在去康威尔的长途旅程中玩”琳琅满目“的游戏，在花园里搭建帐篷享用野餐，家庭聚会上表演舞蹈。
在当今社会，许多祖父母的生活并不轻松。本书还提到了那些把照看孩子作为责任的祖父母们，他们往往在内心感到十分矛盾，但是一旦与孙子女分开又十分不舍。对此，格洛里亚也提出了自己的想法，她认为祖父母们在法律权益上还是有些不足，同时还就感情问题的处理方法作出了指导。
孙辈绕膝，与他们共度时光是一件人生乐事。《光荣的培养》称得上是当今祖父母们的一本宝典。(兼职翻译-PXD)
