[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 457428, member: 10"] The fact that there was not a ' united front ' against your niece has actually enabled grandpa to build a relationship with your niece. To work with your niece , build trust and attachment you cannot be a bad cop. When a kid trusts an adult, sees them as a help in pursuing their interests things begin to happen. When kids see this , they are also more able to accept parental decisions which they don't like , because they ultimately trust them. I think input from the granfather could be useful . Of course in order to start solving actual problems we need very specific and detailed input from your niece. This will be more useful than adding a label to her name. Allan [/QUOTE]
