Before the advent of technology, when there were no smartphones, every member of the family played a vital role in maintaining family traditions and values and these values were passed down from generation to generation. They were instrumental in shaping the character of an individual. As a parent, training your child is as important as education. Unfortunately, in this modern era, parents provide their children with the best education but ignore comprehensive training at all. In this period of Narcissism, when no one has time to motivate and praise others, the grandparents are a true blessing for a family. In this effective blog like HuffPost , where we will explain to you some interesting benefits of living with your grandparents:
Our grandparents can spend the whole day with us
Our parents can’t spend their whole day with us. They have lots of responsibilities like looking after the households, managing financial status, planning for our better education and future. On the contrary, our parents are free from all such worries. Their lives revolve around our parents’ and ours’ happiness. They can spend their whole day with us. We don’t need to get bored anymore if we have a strong relationship with our grandparents. They play, laugh, and share interests with us.
Grandparents’ love is unconditional
Our grandparents are living at an age when they only want love and sincerity. They are not interested in any of the worldly pleasures. Our happiness is their happiness. When at some points in our lives, we feel lonely and we feel as if no one loves us, our grandparents are there to shower their unconditional love upon us unless we forget all our pain and agony.
Better growth of our mental health
Medical expertise has proved that children with emotional closeness with their grandparents develop positive mental growth. Such a trait helps children in their ability to fight against depression and can easily deal with all kinds of dangers. We get a better way to sort out our problem and can easily handle them under the wisdom we get from our grandparents.
Benefit from their experience
It is a fact that our grandparents have more experience of life than our parents and us. No doubt, our parents also play their role in our coaching but grandparents are much experienced in that. When they share their life experiences, like their failures or success, their good or bad decision, their painful and happy moments of life, we can get to be more accurate and successful in our life planning and decisions. From our grandparents’ life long history and experiences, we can analyze our decision more sensibly.
Grandparents are good babysitters/security guards
As Newman stated, “Grandparents are security blanket”. In a house where grandparents live, and parents have to go to their respective jobs, grandparents are there to take care of their grandchildren. Parents are not worried to leave their children with them. We often see the horrible acts by various of babysitters. Thus, grandparents are the most trustworthy baby sitters. They guard their grandchildren with love and care.
Effective home remedies by grandparents
We are often sick and many times we are too scared to go to the hospital. Our grandparents have a long list of home remedies in their memory. They have been using them for many decades and well informed of their positive effects. Not only we can get rid of the need to go to the doctor, but we can recover quickly without the injections given by the doctor.
Benefits of their legacy
At present when making our own home and saving money for our better future is a tough job, we can enjoy and value the legacy left behind by our grandparents. Grandparents happily bequeath all their property to their children in their will.
Our grandparents are like a ray of like and hope after disappointment. Their love is flawless. Giving them respect is their right. We must all respect and love our grandparents. They are no less than a true friend to us, from whom we can share everything. They live once but live forever in those hearts that sincerely learned and followed their advice.
