The most prevalent method of grandparenting Supportive grandparents visit their grandchildren regularly, do activities with them frequently, and provide emotional and material support, but they do not demand power in the child's life. In fact, they often argue with parents over how to raise their grandchildren. These grandparents feel that they are helping to give children a better life and try to encourage the same values in them that they believed were present in their own families. Doting grandparents are just like supportive ones, but they give their grandchildren more freedom and allow them to make more of their own decisions. They may also provide more financial support than supportive grandparents. Doting grandparents want to be involved in their grandchildren's lives and take an active role in their education by visiting school events and sporting activities. Protecting grandparents guard against abuse or neglect by children by taking them into their home if their own cannot be provided for them. They will also go to court to ensure that children are given the care they need. Protecting grandparents may even adopt children themselves. Blaming grandparents blame children for the actions of their parents. They think that if only children had been better raised, they would have been given the opportunities they deserve. Blaming grandparents don't support children, they condemn them for the sins of their parents.
