Showing your grandchild the appropriate levels of structure and compassion comes with the ability to allow them to take the wheel while interfering as little as possible. Although your guidance can benefit them from time to time, letting them maintain their independence as much as possible is preferred. You can do this many ways, such as giving them the proper time and space for self-care. Helping them digest the concept of time management by showing them how to prioritize tasks is another great way to point them in the right direction without prying overstepping boundaries.
Key Takeaways:
- Show children the value of teamwork by assigning chores to contribute to the household, or join a team, and help them to take care of themselves by having them complete commitments before having fun.
- Teach your grandchildren to find solutions where others see problems, to define their goals, and to manage their time.
- Grandparents should also teach grandchildren to accept responsibility for both good and bad outcomes, as well as to practice kindness.
