Grandparents can be a wonderful part of a family but certain behaviors can unintentionally harm relationships or cause stress. In this video we explore ten toxic actions that grandparents should avoid, such as undermining parental authority, giving unsolicited criticism, using guilt to get their way, or dismissing a child’s feelings. These behaviors can cause tension and hurt the bonds between parents, grandparents, and grandchildren. We also highlight ten things grandparents do that are always appreciated, like offering genuine support, sharing family traditions, listening without judgment, and creating special memories through play and care. Loving, respectful interactions help strengthen intergenerational connections and model healthy relationships for children. Whether you are a grandparent yourself or part of a family navigating these dynamics this video offers practical insight into how loving involvement and mindful behavior can make family life richer, kinder, and more supportive for everyone.
