A member of the state school board, Cindy Davis was on a Zoom meeting when her adult daughter Katie burst into the room with life-changing news.
"She walks in and she looks at me and her eyes looked like a deer in the headlights. She said, 'I am pregnant and there are two of them.'"
She doesn't want to be a backseat driver "but sometimes they still need and want someone to ride shotgun," Davis said. But it's hard sometimes when her granddaughter asks her to watch another episode or wants to push boundaries some other way. Many grandparents are also child care providers to their grandchildren, with one survey indicating that 1 in 4 children under the age of 5 are cared for by their grandparents, Pay said.
Lindgren said a grandparents' support is important, too, to help new moms who are likely sleep deprived, recovering from childbirth and learning as they go how to care for and comfort their baby. Lindgren said there are a host of other safety recommendations that have evolved as medical science has learned more about sleep positions, babies' immunity and the appropriate use of car seats.
Grandparents who transport their grandchildren in their vehicles need to ensure the infant seats are properly installed in the back seat of their vehicles.801-662-6583Cindy Davis poses for a photo with her twin 9-week-old granddaughters Indy and Oakley while babysitting them at her home in Cedar Hills on Tuesday. Grandparenting can boost grandkids’ sense of security and help grandparents live happier and longer lives, experts say.
Ellis advises that grandparents contribute early, whether they open accounts for their grandchildren or contribute to a 529 education savings account established by the child's parents, although grandparents' contributions to an account opened by the child's parents are not eligible for the state tax credit.
