[quote=Anonymous]Grandparents are out of touch no matter what. I know this because my youngest is 5 and I have no idea what it is like to have a baby. I don’t remember when they sit up or start solid food. I don’t know which baby gadgets I used are no longer deemed safe. Honestly, so much of the preschool years are a hazy blur that I do not give advice to parents of babies and toddlers. My parents and in-laws seem to have a lot of fond memories of when their kids were 6-11 yrs old. Starting when our kids were 2-3, they started advocating for activities that were during nap, lots of walking, late in the evening, etc. and better suited for elementary age kids. Now that my kids are 5 & 7 my parents are in their prime grandparent age. My kids are old enough to handle getting dressed and bathing/ potty. They are also old enough to advocate for their needs so my parents don’t need to remember schedules and feeding instructions. [/quote]
