Why Your Children Need a Loving Relationship with Their Grandparents

February 1, 2023 by Annie

Children need love and support as they are growing up, and this kind of positive relationship with their parents is still relied upon even in adulthood. Even as a parent yourself, you might turn to your mom or dad when you are going through challenging times for guidance or for someone to vent your frustrations. Yes, strong relationships between parents and children are key, but what about the bonds between children and their grandparents? This is also important for a child’s development and to help them feel safe, and here are some ways grandparents can positively influence your child’s life.

A Sense of Security

When your children are growing up, they need to have people in their lives that they feel safe with, particularly when you are not able to be there due to work or another commitment that temporarily calls you away. Grandparents can often help with babysitting or keeping your kids entertained when you have your hands full, and it is through these actions that they can prove themselves to be safe people for your kids, helping the little ones relax and remain happy. This sense of security can help children build other trusting and healthy relationships later in life.

It Benefits the Emotional Well-being of Children and Grandparents

Spending time with their grandparents can help children feel secure and happy as they forge these bonds. Grandparents can often entertain them, and they associate this with happy emotions and a sense of comfort. It’s not just about giving your children an emotional boost, however. Being with their grandchildren and supporting parents can give grandparents a sense of fulfillment and purpose. It can also help to give them something to look forward to when a visit from the grandkids is scheduled. If they live in residences like the ones offered by Signature Care Homes, they might even be proud to introduce their grandchildren to friends and staff.

Act as a Teacher

Another reason grandparents need to have good relationships with their grandchildren is that they can act as a teacher of sorts. Yes, they can help the little ones learn their ABCs and numbers when they are young, but other lessons can be taught outside of school that grandparents can contribute to. This includes things like getting children to understand basic manners, how to respect other people, and even learning how to be kind to themselves. Grandparents have been through a lot in their lives, so they can impart wisdom to young children and teens alike and their adult children who are venturing into parenthood for the first time.

Grandparents can offer so much to their grandchildren, so if they can help out with childcare, you should utilize them in this way. Even if they aren’t in a position where frequent care is possible, scheduling visits between your children and their grandparents is just as important. It is through this time spent together that they can learn from each other and build healthy, positive relationships that can benefit them now and later in life.

 

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
