Grandparents

Kids living with their Grandparents are world’s Luckiest Kids. The Blessing of our Elder’s is something which cannot be compared with anything in the world like Money or Power.

I have got the chance to spend many summers and winters with my grandparents during my school holidays, which I always cherish. I am glad that my daughter also getting the chance to spend her time with her Grandparents and learning so much from them, which is making her a better person.

Having a grandparent in a kid’s life has its own magical benefits, which many parents do not understand. I agree we all are very busy with our lives and maybe we do not have time to visit your parents on a regular basis. Next time before canceling the trip to your parent’s house, just look at your child and realize that you are preventing her/him from creating beautiful and fun memories for their lifetime.

12 Amazing Benefits of Having Grandparents in our Children’s Lives

1 # Kids develop patient when they spend time with their grandparents: Patient needs to be taught at an early age to Kids, especially these days, when they have so many options in front of them, and they do not want to wait. Grandparents, not only help build patient in kids but at the same time they teach them to respect other people around them.

You must have noticed that, whenever kids demand something or show a tantrum in front of Grandparents, they very smoothly tell their Grandchildren, to wait for their turn or for some time. There can be many incidents, in which grandparents play an important role.

2 # They learn the art of affection: No one in the world can love your child more than your parents do. The love, affection of their grandparents make them lovable person.

3 # They learn how to behave with older and younger people: Staying with Grandparents, will automatically teach them how to respect people around them, whether they are elders or younger to them.

Our grandparents talk in a calm and soft manner, this will help our kids to learn and adopt the same which will help them in long terms

4 # Grandparents are full of knowledge which no google can match: Lots of hereditary knowledge which as a Parent you cannot possibly give to your child can be very easily shared by their Grandparents. Especially,  like how to celebrate festivals, what all rituals generally followed by their respective caste & culture and some good information about festival history.

There are many things, which grandchildren can adopt from their grandparents are kind-nature and positive thinking. Parents should seriously consider, visiting their parent’s house with their kids more often, to give them positive energy and vibes from grandparents.

6 # Good eating habits: Grandparents can play a very important role when it comes to building good eating habits in children. We all know kids are very fussy when it comes to their eating. Every mom and dad fight a big battle every day with their children to get them to eat healthily.

But, do you know that children who stay with their grandparents tend to eat healthy food as compared to other kids who are living in a nuclear family. Kids staying with their grandparents also learn how to eat properly and behave at the time of dinner and lunches.

7 # Selfishness: This is something which kids learn from their bad friends and bad company. Grandparents teach their grandkids the difference between the good and bad. They keep kids away from Selfish behavior, grandparents teach them to share and accept the rejection, in a positive way.

These days we can find kids are becoming more and more selfish as they don’t know the concept of sharing and caring, which can be taught best by their grandparents.

8 # Nature Difference: Children who live with their grandparents are well-behaved, polished, confident, polite, and well-spoken, in comparison to other kids. And one of the biggest benefits is that has a very cheerful and friendly nature. They grow as a very confident personality, as they know how to talk and behave in front of people of all different ages.

9 # Well Behaved Kids: Kids who live in the nuclear family, sometimes have behavioral issues, stubbornness in nature, and cranky behavior. Whereas kids staying with grandparents are always well-behaved, well-mannered, and up-to-date.

Kids have so much to take from their grandparents that you cannot imagine. Lots of things which you cannot see right now, but later when your child will grow up you will notice the VALUES he or she has taken from their Grandparents.

10 # Emotionally Attached with their Parents: Their unconditional love and affection is something which transforms our kids into a very lovable personality. The love and warmth which kids get from their Grandparents, they pass the same to their Parents. They start understanding the value of love and kindness.

11 # Understand the meaning of Respect: Respect is again something, we demand and expect from our kids but unfortunately, it is missing in most of the kids. We don’t have any role model from who they can learn this.

Respect is something, which cannot be taught overnight, it can only be developed over a period of time. Kids living with Grandparents understand the values of people around them and learn how to talk to them with respect. They always encourage their grandkids to speak to people in a polite and loving manner.

12 # Overviewing in the daytime: Please do not think that Grandparent’s role in your child’s life would be of Caretaker or Nanny. They are your kids’ grandparents and your parents You and your child are lucky to have them and you should always thank God for this.
