The court, in rendering its decision, was guided by the following considerations: 1) the right of a grandfather to communicate with his grandchildren must be exercised taking into account the best interests of the children; 2) the relationship between a grandfather and grandchildren differs in nature from the relationship between parents and children and requires a lesser degree of protection; 3) communication between the grandfather and grandchildren should take place in the presence of the mother, given the young age of the children and their emotional attachment to her.
