Can grandparents ruin how you are parenting your child?

Send us Fan MailHi friends! I received this question from a listener so I thought I would answer it in today's episode. This parent asked, "If my husband and I have been working hard to validate our 13-month-old feelings but our parents do not, will this be harmful to our child's development and emotions?"  It is important to validate our child's feelings, however, if certain adults do not validate their emotions, it is not necessarily harmful. I discuss:what validating emotions looked like when we were growing up and what it look like todayhow to have this conversation with grandparentswhether grandparents can undo the workwhat are some red flags with grandparents that can be harmful to your child the role of emotions in mental healthhow to monitor your child when they come back from their grandparent's house Don't forget to review the podcast if you are enjoying it!
