In a recent TikTok video, grandmother DeeDee Moore advises fellow grandparents to reconsider the timing and nature of their parenting advice to adult children. She suggests three key questions to ask before offering opinions: whether the advice was solicited, the difference between safety and preference, and one's motivation for giving advice. Moore emphasizes that while grandparents often mean well, unsolicited advice can create tension. Ultimately, she advocates for a supportive role, encouraging parents to navigate their own paths in raising children, while grandparents reflect on their intentions and approach.
"Before offering parenting advice to your adult children, pause and ask yourself these three important questions... If parents haven't specifically asked for your opinion, they may not be open to receiving it."
"A lot of advice - including intrusive statements - are really just an attempt to connect or because grandparents want to be a part of the equation..."
