Join us for an evening with Terri Apter and Julia Samuel where they will be discussing Terri’s new book Grandparenting: One Love and Relationships Across Generations.
One in three people over the age of 50 has grandchildren. These grandparents are the first generation to be both psychologically aware and very hands on, playing an integral role in their grandchildren’s lives. But when a child becomes a parent themselves, existing family structures are radically altered. Old tensions between parents and their adult children may come into sharp relief while new relationships with in-laws must be navigated carefully.
In this warm, wise guide to being a modern grandparent, leading psychologist Terri Apter builds on cutting-edge research as well as her own experience as a grandparent. Drawing on case studies from across the world, Apter examines the crucial and changing role that grandparents play in our society. This innovative book is for grandparents and for their adult children as they reimagine their relationships with each other, and become the best parents – and grandparents – that they can be.
‘A long-awaited, well-informed, personal and well researched insight into what it means to be a grandparent. Terri Apter is brilliant, warm, human and wise…A wonderful book’ Julia Samuel, author of Every Family Has a Story
