Grandparents And Beloved Grandkids

We can’t help but love our grandkids. They are treasured beings in our lives. We always want the best for them, how difficult, gut wrenching and heartbreaking it can be when things go wrong with and for them.

During these times, it can help them to know that you are there for them, loving them and believing in them. It can help ease their pain and give them a sense of security that may otherwise be threatened and shaky.

Your love and belief in them can help them maintain or even develop their self-seteem. Troubles and problems in their lives can make it hard to find a safe haven. There may be troubles at home. There may be trouble with their peers. There may be troubles at school. You can be their sanctuary.

When you make respect the foundation of your relationship with your grandkids, then the love you feel for them reaches them and nourishes them. That foundation keeps you from doing or saying things that make them feel unloved.

Never doing or saying anything that is not respectful helps create harmony between you and your grandkids. This makes you an excellent example of  how to live harmoniously with others. From you, your grandkids can learn the skills and attitudes that can help them live full and satisfying lives…in spite of other troubles.

This is one of the ways to be powerful.

  1. I’m a dedicated grammi (with young grandkids scattered across the country) and a retired K-8 librarian, now blogging to share ideas on how to interact across the miles.

    I’m new to blogging but hope to add lots of value added content. Though I support my own book-buying habit through tie-ins to Amazon, the books recommendations I make can be passed on for young families to find at a local library…

    Hoping you’ll pass the word along. THANKS!
