Grandparents get chance to watch growth It would appear that parents have the ring-side seat when it comes to watching children grow. Not true. When you are so close to the action that blood spills on you, you don’t have a chance to sit back and observe. When you are so busy fixing lunches and washing clothes and supporting a growing family, you don’t have time to notice children grow. Watching children grow is the task of grandparents. Grandparents visit sporadically, and between visits children grow and change immensely. |
