PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 26, 2009 -
Weaverville, NC -- Being the favorite grandparent has its advantages. Favorites see more of their grandchildren, learn good and bad news first, enjoy grandchild initiated contact, and share more holiday time. But what makes a grandparent a favorite? According to parenting strategist Elizabeth Gardner, "The truth is it has more to do with your relationship with the parents than with your grandchild.  Cultivating a happy, trusting relationship is key." Is it ok to want to be the favorite? "Absolutely," she adds, "grandparents care deeply about their families. Canny grannies know effective, noncompetitive strategies that get them time and relieve stress. Making parents' lives easier while respecting their decisions is a winning combination."

Attorney turned author Elizabeth Gardner is a balance-work-and-family specialist and professional family Web site designer.
