What an amazing Grandparents week we have had a CBI! It was remarkable to step back and see the look in the grandparents’ eyes when they were watching their grandchildren sing or when they were singing with them. Grandparents play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren. Most of their significance to children is seen through the support and help they give to their parents. Grandparents are often seen as stress busters, family, playmates, and safety! Children seem to find unique acceptance in their relationships with grandparents, which benefits them emotionally and mentally. They're very often role models and mentors for younger generations. They are also historians -- teaching values, instilling ethnic heritage, and passing on family traditions. Grandparents are there to offer unconditional love and support. A “sleepover” at Grammy’s is something to look forward to. Please treasure every moment you have with grandparents. There are many things that children can receive from healthy relationships with grandparents; • Someone who offers unconditional love • A mentor who can help with problems • Companionship and someone to talk to • Someone who will stand beside them • A window into their parent's childhood • A sense of adventure • Kindness, humor, and patience • A zest for life • Family traditions • The ability to laugh at oneself • Life lessons
