Grandparents should teach their grandchildren to explore the world in a childish way – through play and carelessness. About it in a chat with Life said practical psychologist Irina Ulyanova. He noted that the role of strict adults has already been assigned to parents. According to him, she should be authoritative for the older generation child and at the same time allow them to fully trust and open up.
“Listen carefully, don’t judge or judge. It is very important for a child to have their voice heard and for an authoritative adult to know that his life and every little incident matter. When a child enters puberty, they will stop sharing what happened to their family. Unfortunately, this is part of growth and it is almost impossible to avoid it, ”explained the expert.
He added that if grandparents manage to establish contact and intimacy with their grandchildren, they will help avoid unpleasant or even dangerous situations and decisions. At the same time, it is important to remember the principles and rules that parents set for raising children, according to Ulyanova.
