Becoming a grandparent

Becoming a grandparent is an intense experience, one that involves a lot of love and finding one's rightful place.

• With a newborn, a new chapter in the entire family history begins. Grandparents have an important role to play. Some tips for grandparents:
• Offer to help without becoming intrusive.
• Remember that the parents are at the center of the scene: no matter how strong your emotions are, your job is to help them and reassure them.
• Avoid giving advice at every turn, even if it is well-intentioned.
