What is the golden rule of grandparents? Understanding the Core Principle for Healthy Family Dynamics

According to a study from the University of Oxford, children who are emotionally close to their grandparents have fewer behavioral problems [1.2]. The foundation for this positive relationship rests on understanding and adhering to a core principle known as the "golden rule of grandparents," which is to respect the parents' authority and their role as the primary decision-makers [1.2]. This means that while grandparents provide immense love and support, they must operate within the boundaries and guidelines set by their own children.
