Should You Give Your Child to Grandma for the Entire Weekend? Not Everything Is So Clear

What parent would refuse to take their son or daughter to their grandparents for the weekend?

In fact, such a decision by adults is not always beneficial for a small child - his age is important, as well as the degree of closeness with relatives.

So, if the baby is not yet one year old, then no one can satisfy his need for a mom and dad (that is, the people with whom he lives) except his parents.

You can send your child to grandma's for the weekend from the age of one and a half.

At this age, you can already explain to him: “Your parents will come back for you, and everything will be fine.”

However, giving a child away for a few days is only possible when there is constant communication between the family and the grandmother, when she often visits her grandson and is a close person to him.

You shouldn't send your child to a grandmother who lives in another city and whom he has only seen a few times, even with her boundless love.

For the baby, this event will certainly be stressful.

But if a young family lives with their parents, the situation changes: the child is already familiar with the grandmother, and she becomes almost as close to him as the parents. In this case, you can leave the child with the grandmother from six months.
