TheGranny-nanny: A Guide For Parents and Grandparents Who Share Child Care

Are you a Granny-Nanny? Are you a grandparent who provides child care for your own children’s children?

In this wonderful, yet serious, comprehensive guide, author Lee Edwards Benning tackles a situation that many families face; shared childcare when money is tight, both parents work, a single, working mom (or dad) is responsible for daily child care, or local resources are simply inadequate or unavailable.

The Granny-Nanny is a hands-on guide for the single parent/working couple as well as the grandparent(s) who must work together to provide the most loving, best care possible for a child or the children they love.

In the past decade, the number of grandparents providing child care has risen dramatically, nearly doubling between 1998 and 2003. In the coming year, at least 79 percent of grandparents will experience the joys and tribulations of daily child care.

Author Lee Edwards Benning, a real-life, full-time granny-nanny, has written the definitive handbook for grandparents who care for their grandchildren of any age while their parents work. The Granny-Nanny can save you, or someone you know and love, heartaches, arguments, even lives. ... Read more

Specifically written for parents and grandparents who share child care responsibilities
The Granny-Nanny: A Guide For Parents & Grandparents Who Share Child Care by Lee Edwards Benning (himself a real life granny-nanny) is a wonderfully informative, thoroughly "user friendly", 223-page manual specifically written for parents and grandparents who share child care responsibilities. This is a parenting phenomena which has become more common in the past 15 years, according to documentation by the Cleveland Clinic Press, as at least 79% of today's grandparents will engage in the tribulations and satisfaction of daily child care due to the children's parents having to both work outside of the home. Individual chapters deal with a variety of germane issues such as child safety, communication, controversy (including discipline), abuse, the generation gap, whose home is to be used, and even a quiz which is both humorous and descriptive. There is an especially valuable chapter offering suggestions about dealing with common issues and problems called 'Making the Best of It' which covers divorce, special needs, and ending the relationship (which really is about deciding when child care needs to be provided by someone other than the granny), for a vast variety of reasons. Grandparents' rights are discussed, as are financial arrangements and pertinent legal questions. Finally, a series of very helpful appendices provide resource suggestions including activities, age-appropriate books and toys, child care accreditation services, and a granny-nanny refresher course. Filly a genuine and pressing need, The Granny-Nanny is a very highly recommended and practical guide for parents and grandparents who are about to embark upon a great co-parenting adventure together.

Finally!!A guide for us grandparents.
Excellent book.Very helpful because it covers all the bases.Also enjoyed the 'flow' of the book.

Wonderful book - helpful for anyone taking care of young children
I highly reccomend reading the Granny Nanny, for grandparents taking care of children, individuals who use their parents for taking care of their children, anyone who has children that are cared for by others, and anyone who cares for young children.This down-to-earth, easy to read book is full of tips and pointers for anyone caring for children.It is well-researched and full of great advice that can make child care a safer, easier task for all involved.

Fantastic Information
This book was a godsend for when my mother said she would watch my children while I worked.We were able to both read through the book and learn what we need to have available for her to watch, what issues to look out for and how to make a very smooth transition.I would urge anyone who is a Granny Nanny to read this book! ...
