There may be many reasons grandparents are overbearing with children. Some grandparents may be motivated by fear. Some may fear that their grandchildren won't enjoy them if they don’t share more sweets with them or spend more time together. They may also be trying to make up for time they didn't spend with their grandchildren in the past. Whatever the reason, it's important to talk about boundaries and how to set them.
Narcissistic grandparents prefer cute (but defenseless) children
Narcissistic grandparents can cause great harm to their grandchildren. They can be loving and generous but they can also be abusive and distant, which can lead to a negative impact on the children. Narcissistic grandparents can punish their grandchildren in subtle ways. For example, they may ignore phone calls and messages.

Many grandparents who are overbearing want to be involved in all aspects of their grandchildren’s lives. They try to be involved in every detail, but they go overboard. Fortunately, there are ways to deal with overbearing grandparents.
They can be manipulative with children
An overbearing grandparent can be manipulative or disrespectful towards children. They often act as if their opinions are correct and challenge the authority given to them by their parents. They may break rules or attempt to justify their actions with lies. It is essential that you as a parent avoid allowing toxic grandparents influence your child.
They can make your insecure.
Overbearing grandparents can cause insecurity in children. Insecurity can be caused by their constant intrusion in a child’s life and their constant nagging. These grandparents may also feel hurt when their grandchildren spend time together. These grandparents may love their grandchildren but are too judgmental, judgmental, and manipulative not to support them in growing and becoming better.

FAQ
Why do parents choose authoritarian parenting?
To be able to become healthy adults, children must have autonomy and the ability to decide for themselves. Children who are not allowed the freedom to make their own decisions can feel helpless and inept when faced with difficult life situations. As a consequence, they can become anxious and depressed.
Authoritarian parenting styles tend to create an environment where children feel controlled and powerless. This can lead children to feel isolated and inadequate. It limits their ability to learn how to cope with problems and challenges.
To raise confident, happy, and resilient children, it is important to allow them to have success and fail without fear. Authoritative parenting encourages children and others to take responsibility for their actions.
Children should have the freedom to make choices and be encouraged not only to but also to share their ideas and opinions. By doing this, you help children build confidence and resilience.
Is gentle parenting good?
It depends what you mean with "good." If you're referring to the treatment of children, then I would answer yes. If you ask me if it's beneficial for them, then I would say yes. They require firmness and discipline at times. They'll never be able to properly behave otherwise.
Children need to know their limits and have rules. Without these, they will never know what's acceptable behavior and what's not. They won't know how to respect others and follow directions.
If you were to ask me which parenting style would I choose, I'd answer none. Each one is equally effective. Finding the right one for you and your family is key.
