Practical Tips for First-time Grandparents
Becoming a first-time grandparent is exciting. An event many people look forward to with great anticipation in later life. The first snapshot that reaches your anxious hands, the first time holding your grandchild’s tiny, sweet-smelling body in your arms. The first time hearing the long awaited words “grandma,” or “grandpa” from cherub lips all will make your heart melt with pride, joy, and love.

Whether you live a great distance away, a few towns over, or just around the block, you can have a very positive impact on your grandchild’s life, become an important role model, and be of great help to your daughter or son – new in their role as a parent.

First Things First…the New Parents

To ensure that things get off to a good start it is important to consider the following: How much help and advice is too much? After all, you don’t want to overwhelm new parents, not yet comfortable or confident in their new role as parents. Or make it appear as though you question their competence.

To avoid possible offense, it might be best to offer advice sparingly, except when specifically asked. Once the new parents understand that your motive is genuine, and not because you think they are not doing a good enough job, they will relax and better appreciate your unique role as grandparent.

It is also a good idea not to criticize the efforts of your child in their role as parent – or the efforts of their spouse. Unless the child’s safety, health, or emotional well-being is at risk, at which time helpful suggestions instead of pointed criticism will produce better results. Remember, your goal is to help create a happy and loving environment for your grandchild, not one marred by hurt or resentment.

I am the grandmother of three - now 10, 9 and 6! What a wonderful role to play! Love it! My rule of thumb is to bond with my grandkids, love them, enjoy them, and follow the disciplinary rules that their parents set down (even if I don't agree!) I have bragging rights, and I brag a lot! They are gorgeous, brilliant and so well-behaved! See, I brag! Relax and enjoy your grandchild! Take umpteen thousand pictures, and force people to look at them! lol I had four albums full of pictures of my first grandchild before she wa...

They are gorgeous, brilliant and so well-behaved! See, I brag! Relax and enjoy your grandchild! Take umpteen thousand pictures, and force people to look at them! lol I had four albums full of pictures of my first grandchild before she was six months old! Grandparents are crazy - but, we earned the right, so have a ball! I know I do!

Spoil your grandkids. Cook a lot and agree with everything.
