Vanessa, that was a magnificent explanation. Thank you. In understanding the difference, for a child, it sounds almost like ‘good cop, bad cop’. A parent needs to balance ‘giving’ with discipline, such that a child can flourish whilst it learns and understands boundaries. Yet the corollary is such that when it comes to being a grandparent, it’s often apparent that there is far more ‘giving’ and less discipline.
