Many grandparents have strong, traditional cultural ties to their heritage.
They may find that even though their children were raised in a bicultural household, their grandchildren were not. Grandparents should be aware that their grandchildren's background may be different. They may not know about long-standing family cultures and traditions. For instance, grandparents may have a bilingual household, and the grandchildren have been mainstreamed into speaking only English. The more rules you have, the harder it will be for your grandchildren to remember them.
