10 Things Your Adult Children Wish You’d Say to Your Grandkids

Think back to your childhood. I bet you can repeat (probably verbatim and with all the right inflections) some of the “wise words” you heard your grandparents say. This forum will be a discussion of things your adult children wish you’d say to your grandkids.

Positive or negative, our grandchildren will remember the words we say! Let’s make every one count—for their good, the good of their parents, and the good of the Kingdom. Your adult children may wish you would say things like:

“I pray for you every day.”
“You don’t have to give me a kiss or a hug if you don’t want to.”
“There are rules at Grandma’s house.”
“That’s something you should ask your mom or dad about.”

What do you think? Are there things your kids have asked you to say (or withhold) from your grandchildren?
