If you leave your toddler alone with their grandparents it is likely that at some point they will misbehave.
So, the grandparent will either ignore the behaviour and let the kid get away with it or try and discipline the child. Lots
of grandparents choose the discipline route, much to the dismay of the child’s parent, and be aware that grandparents
frequently have different methods of disciplining a child than that of the parents. This can cause enormous problems within
the families as often a grandparents style of discipline maybe completely at odds with yours.
Addressing this at the start of the child’s life will help to eradicate problems before they arise. In many
cases problems may not occur as the grandparents just choose not to discipline the child at all. If this is not the case then
the best thing to do is either ask you parents not to discipline the child, difficult as it sends mixed messages to the child
and they may be a terror, in their search for where their grandparents boundaries lie or preferable you could simply ask them
to use your own discipline methods and explain to your parents that this is to ensure that the child is not receiving mixed
messages. Hope it helps!
