Here is a sample of some of Bea's tried and true tips from the book:

#7: As children grow into adulthood, respect the invisible boundaries they may place aroung themselves. You don't need to know everything that's happening in their lives; the same goes for them knowing everything in your life.

#16: Relationships with your adult children can ebb and flow over time. Some days - even years - are better than others. Don't hang onto to every negative word or incident. High expectations are premeditative resentments.

#28: When adult siblings are at odds, do not fuel their difficulty by taking sides. When you side with the one, the other will find you disloyal.

#29: Unless it's an issue of safety, never discipline your grandchildren in the presence of their parents. It's the parents' job to decide if their children need to be reprimanded, not yours.

#45: Are your kids always asking for a financial bailout? Consider the words of an airline flight attendant. "In case of emergency, put your oxygen mask on first, then help your children."
