30+ Grandparenting Mistakes You’d Never Imagine

Avoid Comparing

It’s perfectly fine to make some comparisons between your grandchildren and their parents, like noticing that your granddaughter shares hobbies with her dad or that your grandson has the same eyes as his mom. These are sweet observations!

However, it’s best to avoid making comparisons like saying one generation was better behaved than the other. The goal is to keep things positive so that everyone feels valued for who they are, without feeling like they’re being compared or put in competition."
