How much is too much?

I recently took custody of one of my grandchidren  (she is 11) .  How do I know when I've given in to her too much.   My youngest child is 23 years old. and things were much different then. Please help any addvise appreciated 

Even though you raised your children 20 years ago, you still probably have the same morals and values you had back then. I would use those to help you make decisions with your grandchild.

She is getting close to an age where her friends are going to influence her and she will probably try and get away with a lot. Just use your judgement to make decisions. Maybe you can ask your own children what they think is too much.

Your family is lucky to have a grandma who is willing to take over. I wish you the best with your grandchild.

I have a 10 yr old, and I have to warn you it seems like they are mini teens around this age.  I think with my generation it was more around age 12 that it started.  I think you will know if you have given into her to much by her behaivor.  If she is breaking the rules on a regular basis, I would say you are giving into her too much.  Any child is going to test your authority, It is our job as parents and gaurdians to set standards.  You are the judge of what type of behavior is acceptable in your home.  Kids thrive off of discepline and routine.  Follow your gut, it is right 99% of the time!
