What Many Grandparents Do Wrong When Communicating With Grandchildren: 3 Common Mistakes - The Consequences Can Be Serious

Usually grandparents treat their grandchildren with warmth and love.

But older generations can go too far and harm the baby.

How can we ensure that grandma’s love does not become “suffocating”?

When communicating with grandchildren, the following mistakes should not be made.

Allowing parental prohibitions to be broken

Some grandparents are so eager to win the love of their grandson or granddaughter that they use forbidden methods.

For example, they give the child the opportunity to break one or another prohibition established by the child’s mother and father.

This gross mistake can lead to a serious deterioration in relationships within the family.

Also, don't forget: parents don't just forbid their children to do something for no reason.

Criticize the child's parents

When talking to a grandson, you shouldn't mention the shortcomings of his mother and father. And even more so, you shouldn't set the child against his parents.

This technique can lead to a decline in the authority of the mother and father in the eyes of the child.

"But when I was your age..."

There is no need to tell Grandma about what a perfect child she once was.

This will not cause anything other than anger in the baby.
