When our children see their grandparents, they jump for joy, they love being with them, they really enjoy it. Grandparents play an important role in the lives of our children and in our own. They enjoy pleasing the grandchildren, play with them, teach them, tell them stories, but ... have you ever talked to grandparents about the theme of grandchildren? That is, do grandparents consider the way in which Do you want to educate your child ?, be it with food, with entertainment, etc. In many cases, parents do not talk with their parents about these issues, which is not advisable.
Naturally, the grandparents in their eagerness to please their grandchildren, are very tolerant of some things, the subject of goodies is one, some grandparents abuse the goodies, they give many to the grandson since it is what pleases the child , and we remember how we were told that we should not eat them. Of course, this will depend on the grandfather, but if this is your case, it would not be bad to talk to him to make him understand that health prevails over wishes, since many goodies are not suitable for the child's organism. In the past, grandparents' food was different from today, perhaps some grandparents are accustomed to this type of feeding and thinking that it is the best for the grandson, they will also give it to them. This does not mean that it was bad food, simply that today there is more variety and many more different foods are consumed and very suitable for the development of the child.
A permissive grandfather results in a spoiled grandsonFirst of all, a grandfather should strive to learn to say no to some things and be open to new food or behavioral concepts, so a good talk with the grandparents on the part of the parents can be partly a solution and we say in part , because on many occasions, grandparents succumb to the pampering and carantos of the grandchildren.
