[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 551485, member: 84"] For your grandson........ Dad should be consistent, not just with rules/discipline/praise but in how he has always been with your grandson. He should strive for "normalcy" to give him a sound foundation, something to rely on, somewhere he can take a deep breath and relax. Dad shouldn't be the fun guy, the disney dad........he needs more than anything for this little guy, to be a real dad. Spend as much time with his son as possible, find normal things to do together from preparing a meal to yard work whatever. This is what my grandma did for me. When I went home I never knew what to expect, what would be going on, if mom would be sane or off on a tangent, new guys came and went at the speed of light....... But grandma gave me the stability a child needs, the consistency, the time and attention, the quiet and the normal. And that made an enormous difference in my life.........I look at me and then my sibs who did not have that.........and well, yeah........ENORMOUS. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
