If every grandparent out there will buy this book they will be rewarded.” —Charlie Rose, Charlie Rose“It’s the personal stories that make [Becoming Grandma] so accessible… In the most illuminating parts of her book, Stahl writes candidly about her own experiences as a mother, wife, reporter and now, grandmother.” —The Richmond Times-Dispatch“[An] energetic, informative, and often touching book….Stahl includes stories of generational conflict [and] plentiful glimpses of her family’s joys and those of many others…No matter where readers fall in age or experience, this book should top their 2016 reading list of parenting titles.” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW“An ode to mimis, bubbes and nanas everywhere . . . Lesley Stahl reports from the fascinating front lines of modern grandparenting.” —Pamela Druckerman, author of Bringing Up Bébé “Lesley Stahl brings the keen reporting we know from “60 Minutes” to the story of grandparenting. Amazed and delighted at the joy she experienced with the arrival of own two granddaughters, Stahl set about finding out why that was true. Her wise answers, both scientific and practical, provide useful information not only for grandparents and the children they cherish, but also for the wider society. This is a wonderfully fun read about an important subject.” —Cokie Roberts, author of We Are Our Mothers’ Daughters “Lesley Stahl, one of America's most well-respected journalists, uses her reporter's instinct and grandmother's heart to take a bold look at life's most joyful relationship in Becoming Grandma. Stahl's wisdom, experience, and boundless love for her own granddaughters bring stunning new insights into this classic bond. I loved this book—a must-read for every family.” —Linda Fairstein, author of Devil’s Bridge“Award-winning broadcast journalist Stahl [investigates] the importance of the role grandparents can play in the lives of their children and grandchildren….Through the medium of her own experiences, the author delivers a wise and witty book.

Lent this book to my Co-Madre (as she calls us) because I found it so insightful into trying to navigate the lines of good sense and the new generation of child-raising. The book also gave a peek into the difficulties of being the paternal grandmother as well as allowing me to have my own pity-party regarding my daughter's apparent appraisal of MY parenting skills. I have always heeded my step-daughter's remark to her own mother that "she had HER chance at parenting" and now her daughter was forging her own path. However, I get confused when being criticized for embarrassing a 2yr old when I say no to wiping chocolaty hands on my velvet upholstery. The section on the importance to and of the grandfather was also very illuminating. Do not be misled by the cover: this book is not for the batty rocking chair knitter. The book is aimed at the intelligent, often still-employed and active grannies. I now feel better that I was the one to teach the girls to roughhouse and jump on the bed and bought them trucks for the water table. I also feel (slightly) better about the mandatory attendance at childbirth and discussions of eating the placenta. Most of all, I am grateful for the presence of my son-in-law's parents in this journey to advance mankind.
Stahl offers a breezy read. As a grandparent, I certainly agree with her personal discovery of the joy of her new status. On the other hand, I expected some new insights that were, perhaps, less obvious. After all, I don't need to read a book to see the obvious. The book would be stronger with more research-based narrative or perhaps some comparative study of grandmas in different cultures.
A good read...a good start to my "reading up" in preparation for my first grandchild. I too have been shocked by some of my friends--who were career women and who seemed to tolerate parenting more than love it--who changed suddenly into doting grandmothers. ?!? WHAT?!? It was a joy to watch them...and this book helps explain some of what is going on. Great, honest insights. Since I was a mom of five who stayed home and even homeschooled my younger children, one might think I would be "at odds" with Lesley Stahl, career woman extraordinaire. Those mommy wars were mostly invented by some trying to stir up a story--and, yes, perpetuated by a few nasty working women and a few nasty moms at home. Most of us moms had WAY more in common than we had different, and I enjoyed friendships with career moms as well as with other homsechooling moms. Same is true of grandparenting--we have MUCH MORE in common as grandmothers than what is different. This book celebrates that AND gives insights into the journey ahead. Thank you, Lesley, for shining light on the path behind you to help those of us beginning our grandparenting journeys.
This was a very enjoyable, interesting and well-written book. As a grandfather I easily related to it, even though it was written more from the perspective of the grandmother. The demographics were also very informative.
Written by "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl, this is almost an anthropological study of that smiling, happy species known as a "smitten grandmother."Career-focused all her life in a travel-heavy position, Stahl admits she missed a lot of her daughter's growing up. So when she became a grandmother—even though she was still working and lived across the country from her granddaughters—she somehow managed to make more time for these precious babies.And as part of being a smitten grandmother herself, Stahl wrote this book on what it means to be a grandmother (and a grandfather). It is a fun, wise and enlightening book for all grandparents as they figure out their new and vitally important role—be they a biological granny, step-granny or surrogate granny.
I am on my third grandchild and I did not feel that Lesley Stahl portrayed the whole picture. She seemed to pick and choose her audience whom she got her information.
Excellent book for all Grandmas! Ms. Stahl did a great job voicing all that I went through as a new grandma 7 years ago. I am still biting my tongue more often than I'd like. It's good to know that we grams have a community out there. I am giving copies to a couple of new grams that I know. are also struggling. Times have sure changed.Maryann
This piece should have been one or two NY Times Magazine or New Yorker articles. Definitely not worth a book. Tell me something I don't already know!
