They understand the relationships and can easily translate it to what they are to them. If they're very young, about the age where you tell them names and relationships because they're acquiring language still, I'd use the name they use for the person like "Grandma," "Meema," "Nainai," or whatever you call them.

I think that's mostly where I land. Though I tend not to say "MY Dad" only - Wahoo - 12-Nov-2024 5:44 PM
