Lynette emphasized the importance of setting boundaries while allowing the children to express themselves freely. “Children need structure, but they also need to know that they are loved and valued for who they are,” she explained. “I always try to listen to them and understand their feelings. It’s important to be firm but also kind.”

One of her favorite strategies is to involve the children in activities that channel their energy positively. “We love to play sports, do arts and crafts, and go on nature walks,” Lynette said. “These activities not only keep them engaged but also help them learn new skills and discover their interests.”

Lynette also shared a few humorous anecdotes about the children’s pranks. “There are times when they can be quite naughty, like when they decided to turn the garden hose on me during a summer barbecue,” she recalled with a chuckle. “But it’s all in good fun, and those moments create lasting memories.”

Roger Federer, known for his grace and composure on the tennis court, seems to have inherited his mother’s calm demeanor. Lynette’s approach to grandparenting reflects the same balance of discipline and warmth that has likely influenced Roger’s own parenting style.

In the end, Lynette’s secret to handling her grandchildren’s mischief lies in love, patience, and a good sense of humor. “Grandchildren are a joy,” she concluded. “And a little mischief now and then is just part of the adventure.”

By embracing the challenges and cherishing the joyful moments, Lynette Federer shows that grandparenting, like tennis, requires a blend of skill, patience, and love.
