because they have so many stories and experiences from their own lives to share. Oftentimes
children will listen to grandparents even when they are not listening to their parents or other
adults. Grandparents also offer a link to a child’s cultural heritage and family history. Children
understand more of who they are and where they come from through their connection with

of 10 adult grandchildren feel that their grandparents influenced their beliefs and values. A
child’s perspective of what constitutes a healthy, normal relationship is shaped by the
relationship that he or she holds with a grandparent. Through regular contact, a sense of
emotional intimacy, and unwavering support, children can experience what a true, positive
relationship should look like.

While parents are the first ones to teach children manners,
grandparents can reinforce the basics, and share some of the finer points of etiquette with their
grandchildren through fun activities. Grandparents can help kids write thank you notes, teach
them to share, teach them that it’s good manners to put the cell phone away when at the dinner
table.
Teach Kids Good Manners
One of the most rewarding things grandparents can do with
their grandchildren is read to them. Reading to young children improves their cognitive and
language skills and improves their reading comprehension. Even before the kids learn to talk,
they enjoy sitting in grandma’s lap to look at picture books. Use this special time to teach
words, colors, letters and objects and tell stories about the pictures. All are ways to teach
children to love books and to love reading.
