The role of grandparents

If you're lucky, your children's grandparents live nearby, are good role models, and willingly take an active role in their grandchildren's lives!

• In some families, grandparents are emotional pillars for younger children, relieving their own children of worries that often come with a busy schedule.
• A grandparent also plays other important roles:
• The gift of unconditional love
• Support in the face of difficulties
• Passing on traditions and family history
• Kindness, humor, and patience
• Life lessons
