Que 2. How do grandparents take care of their children?
In today’s world children love to go to their grandparents house, because they know they will be pampered by their grandparents. They also enjoy the tales their grandparents tell them.

I believe the most important quality is to be open-minded not to be a parent who their children can’t confide in or talk to because of fear that they will flare up. A parent who is open-minded puts into consideration the opinions of the children, and allows them to make decisions sometimes by guiding them through. They also give advice and not to enforce their will on the children, they are always on the lookout to help the children develop any talent they have.
