Not only the child's mother and father, but also his grandparents can take part in raising the child.
In most cases, the latter act absolutely correctly. And nothing surprising: life experience helps.
But sometimes some grandparents still make mistakes when interacting with their grandchildren.
Giving gifts to grandchildren that parents are against
Sometimes grandparents have a desire to give their grandson or granddaughter something that the child has long dreamed of, but which they cannot get from their mom and dad.
The desire to “bribe” the baby is quite understandable: it is an easy way to improve relations with the child.
However, think a thousand times before giving something to your grandson. First, consult with the child's parents.
If you do not take into account the opinion of the baby's mother and father, then, most likely, you will seriously worsen the situation in the family.
And don't forget that parents are unlikely to refuse to give their child a gift just like that. Most likely, there is a reason.
Visiting without warning
Some grandparents who live separately from their children and grandchildren have a not very good habit: they come to visit the young members of the family without warning.
They are confident that they have every right to see their grandchildren at any time.
In fact, you need to warn about your visits. Otherwise, the life of a young family will be disrupted. It will be hard for both the child and his parents. The risk of conflict situations will be very high.
Criticism of the child's parents
Never tell your child how bad his mom and dad are.
Your attempts to undermine the authority of parents in the eyes of the child will not lead to anything good: you will harm the child, his parents, and yourself.
