Write about 15 lines on value of grandparents in life
Answers
Grandparents have a special relationship with their grandchildren but like all relationships this may change over time. At times it may seem that you see less of them especially as they develop their own interests. And sometimes you may not agree with the interests that they are taking up! You may have regrets about your own children, or about your relationship with them. You may be hoping to get it right with your grandchildren and feel upset if this is not happening. Try not to criticise or impose your views. Rather take an interest, listen to them, talk about your values and help them to build their confidence as young adults. At Family Lives we receive emails from grandparents who want to step in when their own children aren’t coping so well, but also question their right to do so, even when they have been very hands-on with their grandchildren’s care and upbringing.
