How To Deal with Negative Grandparenting
Negative grandparenting can have a negative impact on your children’s development. It can lead to unhealthy relationships, trauma, and emotional problems in adulthood. As a parent, you should always consider the parenting your children receive from their grandparents before entrusting your child to them. If they don't respect your parenting boundaries, don't care about having a true relationship with your children, and aren’t supportive, they should not have access to your children. Negative grandparenting is becoming a norm, and that is not okay. Choose the best, and change the narrative to raise happy, healthy, and strong-willed individuals by creating a new normal for your children.Join the conversation with your host Sydney Ross as she shares how you can navigate negative grandparenting and be a positive force in your children’s lives.
