A child psychologist has shared what he calls 'the grandparent code,' a list of 12 vital rules for grandparents to follow that can help ensure their relationship with both their children and grandchildren is as healthy as it can be.
Being a grandparent is sold as an easier, but just as fulfilling if not more so, endeavour than parenting itself. We've seen the grandma brain phenomenon in action and the benefits of being a grandparent are very real. Research has suggested that looking after grandchildren is better for the brain than Sudoku, while studies prove that children who have a good relationship with their grandparents have less behavioural and emotional problems. It's all good, no?
