3 Ways You Can Help Your Grandchildren During Back-To-School Season
Grandparents play an important role in many Canadian families. From emotional support to financial support, their contributions are cherished and appreciated in many ways.
Back-to-school expenses can add up quickly for parents. Covering the cost of classroom supplies, enrollment fees, new clothes and technology can break the bank. Grandparents can help ease their adult kids’ stress at this time of year, and not just by offering financial support.
Offer financial advice. Whether your grandchildren are going into grade one or it’s their first year of university, there are a number of ways to help guide them.
For your school-aged grandchildren, talk to them about the difference between wants and needs. Your own kids will appreciate that since they likely have a limited amount of money to spend on back-to-school supplies.
