I don't think anyone doubts that grandparents are the best caregivers and playmates for our children. But when grandparents grant all whims and they keep a constant attention to our little one, some occasional headache can be generated.
Who has not happened that, when picking up his little boy from school, he finds that he has eaten a bauble even if he goes to snack five minutes later? And, when a child goes through a kiosk and goes with his grandparents ...
It may happen that sometimes, as the example of the kiosk, more caprices are concentrated on the part of the grandparents than the parents, and that can lead to the question of how far the grandparents should be allowed to interfere in the education of the grandsons.
Grandparents, in addition to kangaroos, play the role of educators in many moments of the child's life. That is why it is important that both parties, parents and grandparents, agree on the values that they want to convey to children so that there is no problem.
Although the role of grandparents must be of affection, affection and tolerance, the current pace of life makes their role go further, being increasingly educational. This clashes with the parents, since they are responsible for this responsibility.
The voice of experience
To avoid misunderstandings, it is important to understand that grandparents speak from experience and that, like parents, they look for the best for children, but it is the difference between generations that causes shocks, which are more than logical.
Parents should listen and value what they say, without reminding them at all times that now the parents are not them. Likewise, we must assume that, as parents, we can be wrong.
They will always be by our side, giving us their support; Therefore, we should not make them ugly or contemptuous, and it is very important to consider their wise advice.
If your parents don't give it to you, ask grandparents
Surely, one of the things that most makes parents mad is that grandparents give grandchildren everything they ask for, but it is that giving certain whims to their grandchildren is part of them.
Parents cannot forget that grandparents have the right to pamper their grandchildren, as long as they do not show the authority of the parents. They will "spoil" them in a multitude of things parents don't want, but what grandparents don't?
Of course, although certain whims are granted to the little ones, both parents and grandparents should be cautious to prevent the child from becoming someone who comes to one or the other depending on what they want to achieve.
This can generate some conflict between parents and grandparents. It is important that, if this occurs, do not discuss in the presence of the little one because, among other things, and despite his young age, he will realize who is in favor of according to what things.
The most important thing in these cases is to balance the balance and enjoy the little one, since maybe we should remember when the grandparents granted us all our whims…
