7 Tips to Strengthen Your Kids’ Relationships With Their Grandparents
5. Fix grandparent days in your kids’ calendars
Anoint specific days for grandparents on your kids’ calendars. For example, if your kids’ grandparents live in town, you can make it a tradition to have Sunday dessert with them. Or if they live far away, you can schedule a video chat with them on Skype through which your kids can meet them. Let your kids look forward to meeting their grandparents on specific days of the week or month.
6. Plan family vacations
An easy way to strengthen your kids’ relationship with their grandparents is to plan a family vacation. Ask grandparents to join you on your short holiday as an opportunity to let your kids bond with them.
7. Let your kids learn a specific skill from their grandparents
Gardening, painting, making Lego structures, playing cards, doing Origami or any other skill that your parents have, could be learnt by your kids. Whenever your kids meet their grandparents make sure you get them to learn something new from them. This way you will be hitting two birds with one stone – getting your kids to bond with their grandparents and helping them learn a new skill.
