Grandparents – Guiding our children, our way – Aboriginal Parenting WA Guides (2012) [INFORMATION SHEET]

September 13, 2012


Visit Website
  • Grandparents are very important people in our lives. They are our teachers. They give us love, support and security when we need it.
  • Grandparents have a lot of experience and are very wise. Their opinions and advice can be useful. Grandparents often are able to do for their grandkids what they may not have been able to do for their own kids. Today there are more opportunities around for grandparents to offer to their grandkids.
  • Grandparenting is a very special relationship for all of us. In some cases grandparents end up being the ‘parents’. This can be tiring and grandparents should say when they feel it’s getting too hard or they need a break.
  • What grandparents can do – It is normal for grandparents to want the best for their kids and grandkids.
  • You might not agree with the way your adult children are raising their kids. Have a yarn with them about it and share your experiences and ideas with them. Listen to their point of view and try not to judge  them—remember how hard it can be sometimes. You may have to watch them make mistakes. Remember we all learn from our experiences … and that’s okay as long as you know your grandkids are safe.
