About This Quiz
The life of a grandpa is about being a role model for those around you. You'll need to set an example by having a kind heart, remaining calm in certain situations and having fun with life. While the job of a grandpa may seem tough sometimes, it can be incredibly rewarding as well!
So what makes a grandpa awesome? It's about doing the things that nobody else wants to do, such as making time for your loved ones, even if you're feeling tired. Or how about going out of your way to buy a special gift that your grandchild will appreciate? And above all, being a great grandpa is about being there for someone. It's about listening to them when nobody else will. It's about encouraging and supporting them through their life goals, despite your own personal views. It's also about showing patience in our busy world. Though it's not easy to be this type of role model, we're confident that you'll be able to do it. So if you resonate with some, or all of the above traits, then you just might be a wonderful type of grandpa. But the only way to know for sure is by taking our old-timer quiz right now!
