Reseña del libro "The Grand Embrace: Why Grandmothers Have the Magical Power to Heal Our World (en Inglés)"
If you are already a Grandmother or looking forward to becoming one, do you realize how incredibly important your impact will be in the lives of your grandchildren? You are so much more than a convenient babysitter or the one who gets to spoil them and give them back to their parents. Today's grandmothers are healthier, more youthful, more engaged, and living longer than ever before. As women, they also naturally possess the feminine traits of nurturing, kindness, compassion, and acceptance - qualities that seem to be diminishing quickly in today's society. This generation of Baby Boomer grandmothers is the last to bridge the worlds before and after technology-saturation. As such, they could also be the last to remember when a human connection was more valuable than connections made randomly through social media and online relationships. Parents are experiencing more stress and pressure to succeed and the adverse effects on their children, our grandchildren, is becoming evident. Now is the time for grandmothers to recognize and unlock the magical power they have as women and as wise and gentle mentors. In "The Grand Embrace" Mary-Lou has written a 21st-century guide for grandmothers so that they can be the catalyst for positive change in the lives of their grandchildren through the unique and heart-centred relationship they have with them. This incredible bond of mutual love, acceptance, respect, and gratitude also gives grandmothers the opportunity to live their lives more authentically, with curiosity, joy, and enthusiasm. To show children that life is meant to be embraced at every age is, possibly, the greatest gift we can leave with them.
