Grandparents can help new families with parenting skills and also help preserve family traditions.While intergenerational help may be perceived as interference,a statement of this sort is not therapeutic to the adaptation of the family.That grandparent involvement can be very disruptive to the family is not true.Regardless of age,grandparents can help with parenting skills and preserve family traditions.Talking about the age of the grandparents is not an appropriate statement,and it does not demonstrate sensitivity on the part of the nurse.The nurse cannot assume that the grandparents are old.
