As grandparents we will probably not be able to oversee the maturity , both physically and spirtually of our grandchildren. The godparents will be there as role models and guides, along with their parents, until our grandchildren are mature enough to be able to make up their own minds on how and if they want to lead their own lives. |  |
|
I'll try to keep in touch with the parents more and make sure I see my godchildren regularly. Take extra time to play with the children. Always remember their birthdays. | |
|
It means being there to support them & offer advice throughout their life, to buy them nice presents (!) and to care for them if their parents pass away. | |
|
Fun times and the place to try out independence.ie staying away from Mum and Dad. The ideal godparent Godparents should be able to offer guidance or maybe just offer a friendly ear and a place to go in times of trouble. | |
|
I am the cool aunt! | |
|
An honour to have been asked. Gives a closer bond to the child (& her brother) - means we make more of an effort to see them & are interested in her growing up | |
|
Looking out for the child, being there when the parent is not around or first point of call for them when they are in need. | |
|
Offering support in whatever way is required | |
|
An extension of family | |
|
Commitment that you will look out for and support the child throughout their life. | |
