Nová role: babička - Veselý, uvolněný a respektující vztah k vnoučatům – Manutscheri Carina (2023)

How can the modern woman cope with the role of grandmother, which has been associated with certain outdated stereotypes? And what about her inner child? The authors, themselves vibrant, youthful women who certainly do not fit the established notion, focus on three cornerstones for building good relationships along the parent-child-grandchild axis: humor, relaxation, and respect. They work with concepts such as general empathy, a balanced inner attitude, and letting go of dysfunctional inner beliefs. They also emphasize working with the grandmother's inner child, which can often 'speak up' when the daughter or daughter-in-law approaches the upbringing of the grandchild differently than the grandmother knows. They address boundary-setting – how much the role of grandmother will influence the woman's life, and the need for spontaneity in unexpected situations. Furthermore, we learn about the specifics of the relationship with one's own child, with grandchildren, and with step-grandchildren, the role of men in this situation, and the need to involve them in the coexistence with grandchildren. The final chapter discusses family relationship crises that may arise with the arrival of a new generation and how to cope with them. The guide is written with a deep understanding of the complex dynamics of relationships among close individuals.
