This week’s Grandparents, Grandchildren tip deals with situations where you have more than one grandchild. Grandparent blogger SSM advises “Grandparents should make a concerted effort to treat all their grandchildren equally. If you have always hoped for a granddaughter or grandson, or if you are closer to your daughter than your daughter-in-law, those feelings can influence the way you feel about your grandchildren without you realizing it. It is extremely important that you make an effort to treat each of the grandchildren equally, because ultimately your relationship is with the children as individuals. If you think they won’t notice your slight preference, you are wrong. They will notice, and it will effect your relationship in the long term. Try to connect with each child, and not think about them as your collective ‘grandchildren’.”
