How Strong Is Your Bond With Your Grandchildren? How Strong Is Your Bond With Your Grandchildren? This quizz assesses the grandparent-grandchild bond on a spectrum. 1 / 5 When you're together, what is the focus of your time? The focus is usually on me taking care of them or us doing things I want to do. We do a mix of things they want to do and things I want to do. The time is completely focused on their interests, and I'm fully present and engaged with them. 2 / 5 How do you handle disagreements or different points of view with your grandchildren? I usually just let it go to avoid conflict. I voice my opinion, but I make sure to listen to theirs as well. I listen empathetically, validate their feelings, and we have an open and honest discussion about our different points of view. 3 / 5 If your grandchild was having a problem, are they likely to confide in you? Probably not. They would likely go to their parents or friends first. Maybe. They might confide in me about small problems but not big ones. Yes, I believe they feel safe and comfortable enough to share their big feelings and problems with me. 4 / 5 How well do you know your grandchildren's interests and friends? I know their basic interests, but I don't know their friends' names or what their current obsessions are. I know most of their interests and a few of their close friends' names. I know their friends by name, their favorite music, video games, or TV shows, and what they're passionate about. 5 / 5 How often do you communicate with your grandchildren outside of in-person visits? Rarely, only for special occasions or when their parents arrange it. Semi-regularly, through texts or phone calls, but usually about practical matters. Frequently, with spontaneous texts, video calls, or messages just to say "hi." Restart quiz By Wordpress Quiz plugin
