[quote=Anonymous]All this advice is so practical. I think their role is more to help the kid see his place in time. They hear stories about long ago, talk about what has changed, maybe their personalities sort of skipped a generation and a kid has more in common with a grandparent than a parent (happened to me). My grandmother talked to her grandmother about life in the Civil War, and then she told me the stories 90 years later. So I'm 40 but I'm 2 degrees of separation from something that seems impossibly long ago. My grandparents were hugely important to me even though they lived far away and didn't babysit much.[/quote]
