Grandmother’s tip for spending more time with grandchildren leaves the internet divided, as some parents view it as ‘manipulation’

Grandparents in the garden with two grandchildren.

A grandmother sharing her tip for spending more time with grandchildren, has left the internet divided. While some parents love her idea, others brand it 'manipulation.' 

It's well documented that grandparents have a positive impact on their grandchildren. It's thought children who have a good relationship with grandparents have fewer emotional and behavioural problems, while elders set grandkids up with positive habits to last a lifetime. Of course, this won't always be the case, with distance or family breakdown just some factors involved in grandparents not spending the time they'd like with grandchildren - if it's possible in this instance, visiting just once a month can help them live longer.
