I would really struggle to spend time with the grandchild,
because loud, high pitched/shrill noise is a migraine trigger for me
and sudden random fast movements is really bad for my Anxiety/PTSD.
But that means that we have incompatible access needs, not that grandchild is a bad kid!
I wish the grandparents could frame it as "we struggle with X behaviour, what are ways of interacting that would work for both us and grandchild"
eg maybe you write her letters?
maybe you send her a cheap camera and she sends you photos she took?
rather than "grandkid is bad and should change!"
