Grandmothering: Building Strong Ties with Every Generation
In Grandmothering, we learn the pitfalls of too much grandmothering – it undermines the health and finances of grandmothers. Perhaps worse is too little grandmothering, a characteristic of afraid-of-aging women who shun the word “grandma” and are sometimes referred to as “glammas.”
To guide the grandmother journey, Berger created a 27-point roadmap from prenatal care through adolescence and young adulthood.

“Dr. Berger writes for women who, like herself, are drawn to their grandchildren not only with heart and soul, but also with brains, a political conscience, a scientist’s curiosity and precision, and a determination to be the grandmothers their children need.”
