1. What not to say to your kids/grandkids
Whether they’re fully grown-up or not, there are a few things you should never tell them, although you might have good intentions.
For instance, telling a kid (regardless of age, they’re still your kids, right?) that they should be more like their siblings or like other people won’t do them any good. It will hurt their feelings and will lower their self-esteem.
Another thing you should avoid is offering your help every time. Teach them how to be independent and how to handle their own issues.
If you notice that they don’t know what the right thing to do in a situation is, you can then give them some directions.
