Description
Based
on Deborah Doucette’s personal experience raising a grandchild, this
book examines the myriad factors involved in kinship care, specifically
when grandparents begin to raise their grandchildren. Filled with true
stories from people who have raised their children’s children, and
including advice from Dr. Jeffrey R. LaCure throughout, this
family-focused book looks at this fairly common relationship from all
sides. Now in its second edition, Raising Our Children’s Children has
been updated to include recent social developments, such as the trend
toward multigenerational family living where children, their parents,
and their grandparents all live under one roof.
Deborah Doucette
began her writing career as a free-lance journalist, subsequently
becoming involved in the issue of grandparents raising grandchildren,
providing support groups, and working with the Massachusetts Department
of Elder Affairs. In addition to Raising Our Children’s Children, she is the author of a novel, The Forgotten Roses, a blogger for the Huffington Post,
and an artist and mother of four. She lives in a small town west of
Boston with her red standard poodle, Fiamma (Italian for flame),
surrounded by her art and enjoying the comings and goings of her twin
grandchildren. She is currently working on a new novel. Her blog can be
found at www.huffingtonpost.com/deborah-doucette, and her website is www.deborahdoucette.weebly.com.

PRAISE FOR A PREVIOUS EDITION
A very thoughtful work about an important issue that has received too little attention.
— Barney Frank, former Massachusetts congressman
Great style and readability.
— Liz Carpenter, author of Unplanned Parenthood
Raising Our Children’s Children is
a marvelous book for grandparents raising grandchildren and for anyone
who is open to learning about families in this situation. I highly
recommend this book.
— Dana Burdnell Wilson, Kinship Care Services, Child Welfare League of America, Inc.
In
this guidebook for grandparents parenting grandchildren, family
therapist LaCure adds therapeutic guidelines to [Doucette’s] informed,
empathic case studies.
— Booklist
Well
written and moving, this book is recommended not only to grandparents
but to all those in social and legal agencies who struggle to find the
best solutions for children not being raised by their birthparents.
Kinship care is a term we will surely hear more of in the future.
— Library Journal
Raising Our Children's Children is a critically important addition for all community library family studies and parenting reference book collections.
