How Can I Help My Six Year Old Grandchild?

My level little grand daughter is distressed by all the shouting at home between her mummy (my daughter) and her latest live-in partner. I won't go into the complexities of their disastrous relationship but I am extremely worried about the effect on this innocent little girl, who is frequently woken up at night by the vicious shouting and foul language that ensues. Sometimes the partner even wakes her to tell her how bad her mummy is! She pleads with me not to say anything because she has been warned not to tell me.

What can I do? Do I simply remain a silent confidante or can I be proactive without getting my grand daughter into trouble? My daughter already complains that her daughter has no respect for her. She needs to understand respect needs to be earned and isn't anyone's by right.

Poor little girl. I would go to your granddaughters school explain to the teacher what she has said and that you dont want to break her trust. Maybe the school have noticed a change in her behavior? Maybe they can call mum/dad into the school for a chat. The parents might take more notice from the teacher rather than you as they may say your interfering etc.
