Grandparents

Grandma and grandpa play a central role in many families. They help with the upbringing and care of children, relieve the burden on parents and strengthen family ties.

Harmonious coexistence and clear agreements help to avoid conflicts and create an appreciative environment in which all generations feel comfortable. 

An often underestimated topic: age-related changes in grandparents. Health restrictions such as physical complaints or memory problems in grandma or grandpa affect family life. Open conversations help children to understand these changes and deal with emotional challenges. Empathetic communication can help to reduce anxiety and strengthen togetherness in the family.
