Grandparents need to show grandchildren that they are accepted just as they are. One of the special things about grandparents is that they usually do not have to deal with the everyday hassles that parents do. When grandparents take the time to be with their grandchildren, when they listen to them and write notes, children will know that they are loved. Whether grandparents are near or far, children will know how special they are. Special times or memories with a grandparent or stepgrandparent are a treasure that children will always remember.
Grandparents play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren.
A healthy grandparent-grandchild relationship provides benefits for the entire family unit. More than cookies and milk.
