[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 71010, member: 59"] I involved my dad two years ago when things were really bad. I had him go with me and difficult child to our community police station so the juvenile detective could talk to her (husband was out of town). I wanted her to know that extended family were concerned and wanted to help her. Even the detective was impressed and told her how lucky she was to have a grandparent who was willing to help. Several times dad came over when things were particularly bad and husband was out of town. I needed support and she really liked her grandpa and I hoped that would help. He talked to her about her behavior several times and made it a point to do things with her to show that he cared about her. I am a big believer in grandparents being involved in their grandkids lives. They can teach them things that they would never listen to us about. The big thing though is that you don't want that bond to be broken so the grandparent needs to make sure they don't push the kid away. Nancy [/QUOTE]
