The Art of Grandparenting
As much as you love your grandchildren, it's essential to establish clear guidelines to ensure everyone's safety and well-being. Boundaries can vary depending on your family's unique circumstances, but they should be communicated clearly and respectfully.
One common boundary that many grandparents set is around discipline. It's important to respect the parenting style of your adult children and not undermine their authority. However, you can still establish rules and expectations for behavior when your grandchildren are in your care. For example, you may set a rule that your grandchildren must finish their homework before they can play games or watch TV.
Additionally, you may establish safety rules, such as always wearing helmets when riding bikes or not using electronics at the dinner table.
Setting boundaries and rules can help your grandchildren understand what is expected of them, and it can also help you feel more confident and in control when you are caring for them.
