GOOD GRANDPARENTING

Published by

If you are reading this article, you already qualify as a Good Grandparent.


Being a Good Grandparent requires, among other characteristics, being intentional. I have said many times before in these articles it is most valuable when you meet your Grandchildren where they are. It is the old adage, speak with them, not at them. They may not remember what you say, but they will remember how you make them feel. When in doubt, lead with love. But being a good grandparent takes more than just love. It takes time, patience, and a willingness to learn.

Here are some important ways of helping them realize how special and important they are to you.

There is no one definition of a good grandparent. But some of the qualities that make an excellent grandparent include:

1

Love and affection. Grandparents should show their grandchildren love and respect. This means spending time with them, listening to them, and making them feel special.


2

Support. Grandparents should be there to support their grandchildren, both emotionally and physically. This means being there for them when they need you and helping them through difficult times.


3

Guidance. Grandparents can advise their grandchildren, helping them learn and grow. This means sharing your wisdom and experience with them and helping them to make good choices.


4

Fun. Grandparents should be fun to be around. This means playing games, telling stories, and doing activities that grandchildren enjoy.

Thank You for being a Caring Grandparent.

Being a good grandparent is a beautiful experience. It’s a chance to make a difference in the next generation’s lives and create lasting memories. If you’re lucky enough to be a grandparent, enjoy every minute.
