Do Something Grand
Do Something Grand
There
is no specific day for your loved ones but your loved ones deserve your time, unfortunately, our lives have gotten so busy that we don’t look forward to our elders' love, kindness,
patience, humor, comfort, and sharing lessons of life haven’t remained our subject
anymore.
Nobody can do for little
children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the
lives of little children. – Alex Haley
Simply
put, having grandparents around is good for everyone. A healthy connection
between a grandchild and his or her grandparent is beneficial to both sides of
the relationship, and here’s why:
The warmth of a big warm
hug only associate with grandparents
They love your children with a ferocity that only
matches your own. But they also offer kids a whole heap of patience and wisdom
gained from years of their own experience.
Bedtime buddy
Grandparents are a valuable resource because they
have so many stories and experiences from their own lives to share. Oftentimes
children will listen to grandparents even when they are not listening to their
parents or other adults. Grandparents also offer a link to a child’s cultural
heritage and family history. A great example in Pakistan is the story of the separation/migration
of Muslims, the struggle of a nation, those million stories of the subcontinent, and especially the stories of Messengers of Allah. Children understand more of
who they are and where they come from through their connection with their
grandparents.
They might give extra treats, later bedtimes,
longer bedtime stories, or just let their grandchildren have more fun and simply
be children.
It can be said that they can be the pathway to
children's wonderland
Honest sweet and kind
impact on grandchildren
Studies show that as many as 9 out of 10 adult
grandchildren feel that their grandparents influenced their beliefs and values.
A child’s perspective of what constitutes a healthy, normal relationship is
shaped by the relationship he or she holds with a grandparent. Through
regular contact, a sense of emotional intimacy, and unwavering support,
children can experience what a true, positive relationship should look like.
Emotional stress reliever
for three generations
A 2014 study at Boston College found that “an
emotionally close relationship between grandparent and grandchild is associated
with fewer symptoms of depression for both generations.” Grandparents are some
of the best partners when it comes to using creativity and imagination to
discover the wonders of life. And in turn, most grandparents truly love their
role. Not only this relationship lessens the burden on parents, but children get the most
emotional stability and manner of education from them and in return, these old gems
also get connected from the life which is draining from them because of the age
factor. Especially its been seen in the subcontinent that when parents get busy
with their second or further new borns grandparents became those support which
protects the firstling child from emotional stability which boosts many factor
i.e jealousy
An extra layer of support
and calm in the storm
Especially during tough times, having an extra
layer of support can make a big difference in a child’s life. Studies have
shown that close grandparent-grandchild relationships during the teenage years
are associated with fewer behavioral and emotional problems and fewer social
difficulties with peers. Grandparents offer an extra ear when kids need someone
to talk to because sometimes children just find it easier to open up and share
their difficulties and problems with their grandparents.
I
got this thought when I learned about grandparent day coming in September.
there I decided to spend my day with my Nano, she is the connection between me
and my family I got to know about my mama's teen life depending on that I can say
that I know mama’s many secrets which strengthened my case sometimes in our
debate, anyways whether it's about my parent’s love story , whether it's about 1960’s culture of the subcontinent, cute Pak-Indo relation
after separation which our books never talk about. Ik everything because of
her, one thing importantly which takes me to my frantic world was her tale of
love with her father, that cute father-daughter relationship I always admire
So
I am gonna get cream puff she loves the most and a framed picture of us as she
loves to collect family pictures, its
her hobby
