Nanette Newman offers Grandparenting tips!

April 23, 2009  

Most children and adults cherish their grandparents. However, many Mums and Dads accuse the older generation of spoiling the Grand Kids! Surely not?

Star of stage and screen Nanette Newman from films like International Velvet, The Stepford Wives and many others has five grandchildren - and she admits to spoiling them all! In this interview Nanette tells us all about why she’s loving being a grandparent - so much so she’s written a forward for a new book aimed at grandparents called “The Really Useful Grandparents Book”

Nanette said, “I used to think that my Grandparents were mindblowingly old. At the time they must’ve been around 50 or something and I used to think that they were older than God. My Grandmother used to sit by the fire with a cup of tea and knit and make tea cosies and I think the most she ever did with me was occasionally play I-Spy.”

“Today Grandparents I know seem to stay younger longer and become part of their grandchildrens lives.”

Nanette also talks about what being a Granny means to her, plus she has lots of ideas to entertain them too. For such an iconic star from the silver screen Nanette was a delight to interview and was up for some great story telling too which is reflected in this interview. Enjoy!
