#grandparents #role #children
A major part in the upbringing of little children is taken up by their grandparents. A Family with children and grandparents is beneficial for the children as they value family life and children bring joy to the grandparents. In my opinion, grandparents too benefit from
such
 a close knit family life. As we know,
older generation
Suggestion
older generations
the older generation
 are always patiently waiting to spend
time
 with their grandchildren.
This
 interaction gives them an opportunity to relive their childhood. Sometimes in an attempt to make money in order to provide for their family, they may have not been able to spend quality
time
 with their children and enjoy their childhood. Having
grand kids
Suggestion
grandkids
 provides a platform to experience the
time
 missed out by them with their children. Children
also
 are known to be very active and adventurous. In order to take good care of them, the grandparents are required to remain alert and be active.
This
 motivates them to be healthy and happy.
For instance
, my sister recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and has been staying at my mom’s place to receive some help with the baby. I have never seen my mother so happy and healthy even when she has to be active and work harder for longer periods of
time
.
Last
 but not the least, having children around
also
 keeps the minds of old people sharp and alert as kids are always
curios
beyond or deviating from the usual or expected
curious
 and keep asking questions. In order to answer
such
 questions, you need to always be alert.
This
 is beneficial for grandparents as it prevents the onset of amnesia. More than 50% of adults over 65 years, who stay by themselves, are believed to be suffering from memory loss. In conclusion, having grandparents enrolled in upbringing the children is not only beneficial to children, but is of much more importance and advantage
to
Suggestion
of
 the grandparents as well.
