Grandparents are a great help when young parents need somewhere to place their small children.
Only in raising their grandchildren they often make mistakes, although they try to do the best.
Experts pointed out unfortunate mistakes and explained why this should not be done.
Remind parents of their childhood mistakes
When parents try to get their children to do their homework or brush their teeth, it is clearly out of place for grandparents to mention that their grandchildren's parents were not obedient themselves.
Because of this, the child may think that his actions are justified, and the parents will have to raise him even more difficultly.
Allowing more than parents allow
If mom and dad don’t give candy before dinner, then grandma or grandpa can let you eat it, but on the condition that you don’t tell your parents about it.
A child may think that with someone's permission he can lie to his parents.
Criticize the child's appearance and interests
It is clear that the older generation, especially at an advanced age, is not ready to take for granted the interests, outfits and accessories of the youth.
But it’s time to accept that you can’t force your opinion on others.
Educate through work and make work
Work around the house, in the country or in the garden should be, first of all, feasible. But often in such cases grandparents compare their childhood with the childhood of their grandchildren.
Instead of forcing your grandchildren to work in the garden, it’s better to try to come to an agreement.
