Grandmothers and grandchildren

Grandmothers and grandchildren. We build relationships

Grandmother … Kind, gentle, dear. He will always understand, always protect, always cherish. I was very lucky with my grandparents as a child. I remember our grandmothers were sitting on a bench near the entrance, guarding their grandchildren, pampering them, baking pancakes and pies. Therefore, it was just such a classic image of a grandmother that was deposited in my head. I may be wrong, but most of today’s grandmothers do not look like them at all. Many continue to work, value their personal freedom and ask them not to burden their grandchildren. Or were grandmothers always different?

What role does your grandmother play in your family? Is this a free no-hassle nanny? A source of pampering and gifts? Or, on the contrary, a lady who does not want to wear an “aging” title? Or maybe this is an aggressor grandmother, terrorizing everyone with her countless advice? Or is it still a symbol of wisdom, love and family traditions?

Whatever grandmothers are, we have to, one way or another, build relationships with them. How to avoid unnecessary heat of passions? How to prevent children from growing up in an atmosphere of generational confrontation? How to turn a grandmother from a rival into an ally? Let’s look for a solution together.

First you need to determine what type your grandmother is. It is possible that she belongs to the category of “Ideal”. In this case, there are no problems in the family. But ideal grandmothers are rare. By this, we go for advice to psychologists.
