I two grandchildren..age 6 and 3. Poor children just went through their parents divorce about 8 months ago. The 3 year old is a lovely little fella.and we’re very close.He is also a happy go lucky type of little guy.
The 6 yo granddaughter has a sweet heart and is a good sibling to her little brother. I see the grdauhter with many similarities as her mom. By that I mean she is very closed off...at times and ignores me at times when talking to her. She doesn’t respond to any teasing( like her mom) and morose a lot.
I almost feel like she doesn’t like me. I definitely get that she has been through a lot and still very sad at times abut the divorce. Sometimes I try to talk to her a little about feelings but depending on her mood determines if a conversation will take place. Also my son is the every other weekend dad..and I spend as much time as possible at his house when they are there. My son loves his children more than anything but aside from working an extremely stressful job..doesn’t seem to have any patience with them for the most part. Anyway I’m looking for some tips or advice on how I can bond more with my granddaughter ..just things her an I can do when I visit. I’m always trying to engage her in ideas and things that we can do...without much success
New Grandma with a lot to learn for sure!
