"We are your typical boomer nana and papa," say authors Kathryn and Allan Zullo, "younger, healthier, wealthier, and better educated than our grandparents. We are more active and less formal than our own parents were at our age. We no longer fit the traditional image of our elderly kin." That description signals the need for a new kind of grandparenting, a role that The Nanas and the Papas fills to perfection.This completely reworked and updated version is now half again as large as the original. "Most boomer grandparents work hard and lead vigorous, often stressful, lives where time is a precious commodity," say the Zullos. The Nanas and the Papas helps grandparents relieve the stress of grandparenting and make the most of limited time.Top grandparenting experts cited throughout the book tailor their guidance and recommendations to fit the boomer sensibility, covering topics such as:o How to define the grandparenting role for a new generationo The latest trends in child careo How to work in harmony with your children and their spouseso High-tech grandparentingo Ways to make the most of time alone with grandchildreno Grandparenting and the single-parent householdo Grandparents caring for their own parentsFilled with expert advice, The Nanas and the Papas provides a smooth transition into grandparenting and sets the stage for successful relationships and experiences for the entire family.

Grandma—You Can Be a Game-Changer for Generations to Come. Today’s grandmas live in an ever-changing, fast-paced, highly-competitive, busier-than-ever world. We struggle with balance as we help our children manage theirs—grandbabies, work, exercise, staying healthy, and leading our growing families. Chrys Howard and Shellie Tomlinson have more than 20 (as of now) grandchildren between the ages of newborn to 30 years old. Together they inspire grandmas with personal stories, learned insight, relevant Scripture, and a few laughs to encourage new and seasoned grandmas to press on. Rocking It Grand includes four, easy-to-remember R’s in each of the 18 devotions: Remember it is a scripture passage to absorb; Read about it is a personal message from Chrys or Shellie; Reflect on it is a quote to highlight their message; and Rock it provides an action step to reinforce the topic. Become more confident and intentional with your grandchildren, your adult children, and their spouses; more grounded in your faith; and ready to rock your role as the best grandparent you can be.
