Average parent calls their own parent for guidance this often

A survey of 4,000 American and Canadian parents and grandparents of kids 0-7 found that this is because some parents find their parents’ advice to sometimes be dated and they also have different ideas about how to raise their child .

And 73% of parents believe they operate at a happy medium, following their parents’ advice while also raising their children the way they want to. Change can be good, though, as grandparents surveyed said that they wish they had some of the resources available now when they were raising their own children like hybrid work schedules , more after-school activities for their kids and access to telehealth or other online health resources .

Similarly, 17% of parents bathe their child more than once a day, while only 4% of grandparents recall doing this when their child was that age. Parents also wish their child’s grandparents were more involved in different steps like their education , babysitting and playtime .On the other hand, bath time routines have stayed the same: 54% of parents bathe their child at least once a day, in line with 51% of grandparents who bathed their child just as often.
