Bristol Grandparents Support Group Blog : A promise to children.

Welcome.

Hi everyone and welcome to Bristol Grandparents Support Group blog. Although we are Bristol based we have grandparents from all over the UK and beyond as members.

It is estimated that over one million children in the UK are denied contact with their grandparents due to family breakdown which may have been caused by divorce/separation, alcohol/drug dependency,domestic violence,bereavement or family feud.

Every child has the right to have contact with their grandparents

if they wish and unless proven unsafe for them to do so. To deny contact from a parent or grandparent has to become as socially unacceptable as drink driving.

I hope to keep you up to date with what is going on in BGSG and I shall continue to campaign for the rights of children to have a loving and meaningful relationship with both parents and their extended family. So please join in as good to hear your views, not just mine!

I also will support via Skype.

There is no membership fee to be part of Bristol Grandparents Support Group.

Esther Rantzen says, " To every grandparent, links of love can never be broken in our hearts."

A promise to children.

I promise that I will not in any way put my children in the middle of any dispute I may have with their mother/father,and that I will put my children’s best interest above everything else.

I will not make disparaging comments to them about their mother/father, use my children as pawns or leverage, or try to turn my children against their mother/father, no matter how angry I may be.

I will focus on enjoying and making the most out of the time I have with my children, and will encourage my children to have a good relationship with their mother/father.

I will keep in mind that my children are innocent bystanders in this process, and it is up to both of us to protect them.

I will remember that my overall goal is to raise happy, well adjusted children who have a healthy relationship with both parents.
