The Baby Show Launches Special Ticket Rate to Recognise Grandparents

The Baby Show have recognised the vital role grandparents play by launching a special discounted ticket, so parents who are expecting a baby can bring their own parents along to the only large scale event in the UK which is dedicated to those expecting a baby.

London, UK (PRWEB) May 5, 2006 -- Grandparents have been getting more and more involved in bringing up their grandchildren and supporting their own children through the parenting process. A greater proportion of grandparents are making contributions, however small or large, and The Baby Show have noticed that greater numbers of them year on year are participating by coming along to the Shows. The Baby Show have recognised the vital role grandparents play by launching a special discounted ticket, so parents who are expecting a baby and those who have small children can bring their own parents along to the Show too.

As we know from the dedicated parents who come through the doors of The Baby Shows every year, the advice and active interest of a grandparent is invaluable when it comes to preparing for and coping with a baby or toddler. Visitor research has shown us that many grandparents want to help by making a major purchase when preparing for the baby, and they also like to contribute by getting some special and individual smaller gifts, which means that they will benefit from the chance to compare and test products from the massive selection at The Baby Show. There are lots of new products and innovations to find out about, and now grandparents and grandparents-to-be can easily get vital information and join in with those important purchasing decisions, as well as enjoying the fantastic entertainment and great facilities which are laid on at the Show.

Many of our visitors have told us in the past that when they are expecting or have a small child, the most frequent and upsetting cause of conflict and problems with their parents was differing advice. Of course, grandparents will be focused on all the fun and excitement a new arrival brings, but if a grandparents' help is going to be the most constructive and useful it can be, then is also important for them to get up to date with current information. Researching topics at the Show, watching the talks on The Baby Show Stage or talking to the health professionals who are available at the event is a great starting point for any grandparent who wants to get up to speed.

If you are a grandparent or grandparent-to-be and want to get involved and support your new family by coming along to The Baby Show Birmingham (NEC, 19-21 May 2006), then take advantage of the grandparents special discounted rate of £2 off the ticket price. To book tickets in advance, please call 0870 122 1313* and mention that you are a grandparent, or go book tickets on the website at http://www.thebabyshow.co.uk and select the grandparent ticket option. Grandparents can also use The Baby Show Website to research and get current information on products and aspects of having a baby.
