today, majority of children are raised by their grandparents due to the fact that their parents are busy working. To what extent do you think it affects the whole family?

#majority #children #grandparents #fact #parents
It is irrefutable that
both
 parents are working nowadays and
as a result
,
children
 have to be raised by either maids or
grandparents
. Definitely,
grandparents
 are better than any other option and
this
 situation affects the family in
both
 positive and negative ways which I shall highlight in
this
 essay. On the positive side, looking after the
grandchildren
 keeps the
grandparents
 energetic and vibrant.
Grandparents
 bathe, feed and even read books to the child.
This
 leads to a sort of symbiotic relationship
in
Change preposition
from
show examples
 which
both
grandparents
 and
grandchildren
 can profit from.
In other words
, we can say that it is a win-win situation for
both
.
Grandparents
 will no longer suffer from loneliness and depression which is very common at that age and
children
 are
also
 well looked after.
Moreover
,
such
 a situation encourages a joint family system.
Therefore
, all the benefits of a joint family are there. There is security in the family as we all know that there is security in numbers. Another big advantage is that
grandparents
 teach moral values to
children
. If
grandparents
 do not look after
children
then
 parents use TVs as babysitters and
children
 can become couch potatoes. On the negative side, it is generally seen that
grandparents
 are over-doting, and , out of love, may pamper and spoil the
grandchildren
. Another disadvantage is that if there is not enough harmony between parents and
grandparents
then
 it can lead to frustration and spoil the whole atmosphere of the house. In
such
 cases,
children
 are the worst sufferers. In conclusion, I believe that it is very beneficial if
grandparents
 look after their
grandchildren
.
Grandchildren
 learn moral values, are looked after well and
grandparents
 enjoy themselves and do not suffer from loneliness and depression.
