What kids can learn from grandparents and great-grandparents?

In my point of view grandparents have some privileges parents don't. In addition, life experience has given them some valuable gifts. As children we can learn a lot from them. Kids automatically trust their grandparents and for good reasons. They know that grandparents love them almost without limits and in front of grandparents eyes cannot do any wrong work. Sensing the love and acceptance of their grandparents, kids relax. So that children aren't on boundary.

Quietly they can absorb the simple lessons that grandparents are more than prepared to teach. Their teaching stories make children interesting. Parents do both their own parents and their children without making any special favor by providing the time and the encouragement.

This allows all members of the family to determine and grow from learning what grandparents can teach grandchildren about life.Grandparents have a wealth of stories to share about the good old days with a longer experience in life. Sure sometimes the stories that grandparents say you, you have heard a million times and really don't need to hear again. These tales of days can remain hidden gems, unless grandparents encouraged bringing children to light for the assessment and suggestion.

Grandparents know more about the family than anyone else present around the various occasions. Grandparents can tell grandchildren about how these holidays and special occasions were celebrated in the past, what foods were considered as treats, what special outfits people wore, what members of the family back in those other times were funny, cute, spoiled, quiet, talented, or kind while comparing to present society. When grandparents share these kinds of memories they let their grandchildren to understand the warm secrets of the past. Also prove how these tasks have diminished in the present generation.

Here are some important common things that make bond between your children and grand parents.

1. They don’t feel responsible and shout at themselves for everything the child does. 

Wouldn't you be happier?

2. They get a break to refill their own cups.

 Obviously parents can't give kids to someone else to look after and go out without them.  But we can find ways to take time for ourselves so we have something to give kids.  This is challenging to be an enthused parent.

3. They have learned that kids do grow up and become solid citizens. 

They've learned through strong experience that kids go through challenging phases and come out reasonable.

4. They don't challenge a close relationship by punishing. 

 Sure, you need to set limits for children to make their behavior good.  But punishment of any kind always damages your relationship with your child and makes it more likely that he'll be naughty.

5. They know life is short.  

Grandparents have seen and have shared both sadness and joy.  They know that sometimes all parents can do is to share happy/ unhappy together and the rest of the time by forgetting them be happy.

6. They have more touching prime of life and have learned something about what really matters in life. 

Grandparents have the maturity to let a child win an argument, when a parent would need to prove she's right.  Grandparents are usually better listeners than parents most of the time. Grandparents are short on criticism and long on love.

7. They know how quickly childhood passes.  

So they want kids on their laps as long as possible, they don't tell a child to stop acting like a baby and they would never turn down a tea party invitation to wash dishes. After the tea party they find a way to make washing the dishes fun and get the grandchild involved unless.

8. They know what a wealth each child is.

 So they're more likely to appreciate the unique gifts of each child and be understanding about the challenges each child brings into the world.

9. They never run out of hugs and cookies. 

Life is hard-hitting and we all need to be able to count on the sweetness of someone who wants nothing more from this moment than to sit and listen to us talk.

I know not all grandparents can reach this supreme model. But shouldn't we take the opportunity to learn valuable things from them and adjust our life with children accordingly.  When giving children the information about their past days of life helps children to get more clear understanding of who they really are and where they came from in terms of the family tree. These kinds of knowledge help to sharpen a child's sense of identity and also of belonging.

Grandparents usually can provide this information in a way that delights and bamboozles kids. Grandparent’s special knowledge of the past and their ability to connect that past to images in the present make their observations real treasures that children will continue to think about for years to come.
