As a grandma you have a special place in a child’s life; what you do with this role is important — choose to:

• Encourage them
• Support them
• Tell them how much you value them
• Tell them how much you love them
• Listen when they talk, and be there when they need you
• Remember that all relationships change over time — different doesn’t have to mean worse
• Help parents and children to talk to each other
• Enjoy them!
