Teaching him new things. Children are like sponges when it comes to knowledge and it is a joy to introduce him to the world around him.

I'm lucky because my grand-daughter only lives across the road from me so I get to see her most days. She's always so excited to see me though, never fails to make me smile.

think the lack of caring what people think makes our relationship so special. Am at the time of life when I can dance in a puddle and look for dinosaurs whereas in earlier times I would have "worried" what people thought of me.

My son's daughter can be quite strange if she hasn't seen anyone for a while. However, she never forgets me and always spots my car parking up and comes to the window and waves and shouts at me. I suspect she likes my wee yellow Fiat 500 but she never forgets me. it's a lovely feeling and I'll take it any way I can as I just love her to bits.

A lot of what makes the relationship special is having the time to do things together, to play mad games, dressing up for role play, making a bit of a mess etc - things they tend to love and will hopefully remember fondly as they get older - creating fun environments and happy memories, lots of laughter and great days out together.

Love seeing my grandchildren and so glad they want to spend time with me. Have done alsorts together and some of the best haven't cost anything. Giving them one to one attention is something parents haven't always got time for but older people have. Enjoyed my love of reading on to them too.

I always hoped for but never expected grandchildren and now I have four.

My eldest daughter had a cancer scare, an horrendous miscarriage and then pre-eclampsia led to our first grandaughter being 7weeks premature. She has gone on to have a second little girl (DGD3) who is just sooo different from big sister.

Between times, number two daughter, who never intended to have a family, became unexpectedly broody and gave us another granddaughter.

Then, our son and lovely daughter-in-law who has no large intestine to speak of, an ileostomy and had been told her chances of getting pregnant were negligible, produced a son!

Being with a child of my child is the most incredibly uplifting and wonderful. Any one of them, or all of them. My unexpected bundles. My co-conspirators in mischief. They call me Nanny Og - but I can't think why, apparently there's some resemblance.

I don't see my little Danish grandchildren as often as I would like, but 3 year old Jonathan I'd learning English so he can talk to me on Skype as I don't speak Danish! No doubt one year old Olivia will soon follow suit!

I spent a lot of time with her when she was small and Mum was having difficulty coping and this has forged an unbreakable bond to this day

I have time to listen and play with my grandchildren which is so special. Having m.s. I use a crutch or wheelchair to walk outside, the 2yr old is so good, she tells me to use my crutch as we are going in the garden, when there she likes to look after the crutch for granny, putting it safe some distance away from me! very helpful as I then crawl to get it back! The youngest one is still crawling and loves to dash off on all 4's looking behind to see if granny is following also on all 4's!

I was raised by my grandfather as my mother is an alcoholic and my father was a drug abuser. He was my everything, mum, dad, grandfather and friend. He died last year at 83 from lung cancer, and my children and i miss him immensely as he was our only true blood.

Because we don't live close we only see each other about 4 times a year but we Skype all the time. At 2 1/2 he gets on his balance bike and whizzes off saying "I'm going to Engeland". English is not his first language but he is endlessly patient with me when I don't understand what he says and is gradually learning to use a different way to explain. I am the only person in his life with this special relationship because his other grandma lives near and speaks his language but he clearly loves me to bits and sometimes refuses to switch off Skype because he wants to keep talking to me.

My Grandaughter just loves to come over mine ganny lees she gets so excited as soon as she knows shes comming over mine we do sticker books which she just adores as we have done lots plus reading books as she has 6 books a week from the libary and just loves storys being told to her such a happy little girl if shes not singing shes humming or talking shes 2 on sunday cant wait to see LANA ELIZA whens shes 6

I looked after my grandson when my daughter returned to work when he was very young. Up until then I had seen him every day. He now has a baby brother so I am lucky enough to be a Grandma to 2 boys. My daughter moved further away from us so we have just sold our house and will be moving nearer to them so that we can see them as much as possible. We love to have them to stay with us overnight, the eldest loves being able to stay up late and have extra treats and stories.

My grandchild make me feel young again. I can indulge with playing with dolls,doll houses,painting etc. I create a happy environment for them and have time that their parents don't have. Everything stops when they come to stay and I do whatever they want ( within reason) what we all love best is picnics in the park.

They beat me at dominoes, confound me with incomprehensible questions and keep me interested the whole time I am with them. I think they do more for me than perhaps I do for them! They are irreplaceable!

We love to take the Grandchildren on days out. We have three, a girl and two boys and we always have such good fun and do things that we wouldn't normally do.
We've crawled through tubes, up netting and down slides in the indoor play areas to keep up with the little ones.
We've been sledging, played silly games and been on the fairground rides.
We wouldn't change a thing!

I love the way there little faces light up when we walk into the house, and that we walk together, play together, read together and generally share love.

We love to discover new skills together. I have taught my granddaughter how to knit, embroider, and crochet, although she watches while I do it! And I (tried) to show her how to do Origami (the Japanese art of paper-folding), though she was much better at it than I.

We enjoy lots of special times exploring different past-times and chatting.

I had to stop working some time ago and so I looked after my grandaughter for before she went to school and then took her and brought her home from school. She kept me going when I was down and couldn't work and she brought out the inner child in me. She is now 15 and doesn't need me to look after her but she comes after school still quite often and we often have a good talk especially when she has a problem and I listen but I do pass this on to her mum although I do ask her not to mention when I do. She loves diving and cant wait to let me know when she learns a new one.

I didn't have children of my own so when I decided to look after my stepson's daughter for two days a week when she was nine months old and her mother returned to work I didn't know how I would cope. It was hard work because she also stayed overnight and I admit that when her mum took her home at the end of the second day I often felt exhausted but she has brought such joy into my life that I would do it again in a heartbeat. She is seven now and we have a very special bond which I hope will never be broken - she is the child I never had and I love her with all my heart

We have fun together, Freya is 2 and I arrived with an enormous cardboard box that we made into a boat, a house, a shop ,a cave and lots of other things, it lasted a couple of months and Freya called it Grandma's house

I love the fact that my GD's attended the nursery I work at so I was able to spend quality time with them every day that they were there, whilst being at work, they have both started school this week and I will still get to see them every day when I collect my after school children, my GS will be starting the nursery soon and am looking forward to spending time with him and his new playmates

I dropped hours at work to be able to mind one of my Granddaughters one day a week. We play lots of pretend games but I must get carried away because she will keep reminding me "it's just 'tend, Gaggy" ♡♡

My nine grandchildren all call me Pink. I love them all dearly but don't see them all as often I would like. So we keep in touch by email or FaceTime. They are all very keen to show me new technology.
