On SIXTY MINUTE FATHER: 'A brilliant book.' Daily Mail On SIXTY MINUTE FATHER: 'Sixty minutes that could save the regret of lost family opportunities.' The Guardian On SIXTY MINUTE FATHER: 'For all those fathers who know, somewhere in their hearts, that their children's lives are slipping by while they are too busy to notice.' Daily Mirror On SIXTY MINUTE MARRIAGE: 'Wise and witty. Full of down-to-earth advice that works.' Lynda Lee Potter Rob's book - which can be read in about an hour - also offers advice. It contains chapters on providing childcare while parents are working, how to be a good grandparent from a distance, coping when a grandchild's parents separate and how to build relationships with new step-grandchildren. -- Claire Brine The War Cry

We have been reading this book together one chapter at a time. It’s been really helpful to discuss and understand how we can have different perspectives!

Easy read with lots of anecdotes and nice summary at the end of each chapter. Good advice that took me just over the 60 minutes to glean. Worth starting to read when you are told a grandchild was on the way as we waited till he arrived, so the first chapter was less useful.

Full of good advice

Stephen

Excellent advice for grandparents -having become one recently, it contains some great practical advice from which every grandparent would benefit - another brilliant book from Rob Parsons.

This is the next in the popular series of of Rob Parsons' "Sixty Minute" books, and is exactly what it says. It can be read right through in sixty minutes but to get the most out of it a little longer is needed!

Eleven short chapters introduce a variety of themes beginning with one that attempts to dispel some of the myths, and goes on to suggest various ways in which grandparents can be a real benefit to both grandchildren and their parents. It covers subjects such as the pitfalls of grand-parenting, helping without interfering, about acting as carers and also living far away, also the thorny issue of families falling apart.

Most chapters conclude with a "Sixty Second Page" containing some very succinct and worthwhile advice.

I like the way the book is set out, and found the contents easy to read and digest. As a grandparent myself, I shall be noting some of good advice for my relationship with my own grandchildren-there's always something new to learn and little books like this can be extremely valuable.

Very worthwhile.
