Kids love their Parents more….Kids love their Grand Parents more and more and more …
This is a Universal Truth. Why is it so? Let us ponder the reasons behind this widely accepted fact.
| | PArents | Grand PArents |
| At the thought of child’s future | Worry | Cheer up |
| When kids ask to carry them for a long while | Feel very tired | Feel very privileged for it |
| During story time | Tell fairy tales | Tell family tales |
| When kids make fun of them for being bald or fat | Show sharp temper just not being able to accept their own flaws | Enjoy the kids Sense of Humor but corrects them |
| When kids imitate their Parents’ misbehaviors | Advice – “Do as I say, not as I do” | Relishes how their Grandchild is their own child’s replica |
| When kids behave too childishly they say … | Kid is not acting big enough | Kid will no longer be a child, so let it be …. |
| Think miracles happen when … | Knowledge is dumped | Bonding takes shape |
| Life | Worry a lifetime for simple moments | Make simple moments last a lifetime |
| Time | “Sorry dear, no time now” – always in a rush | “Come lets do it together” – have enough time on hand |
| While playing | Judge kids | Appreciate kids |
| Talk time | Listen to kids with half shut ears during multitasking | Patient and active Listeners |
There are much more reasons too…Grand Parents are indeed God Sent Parents to kids.
The only thing we Parent can do is to make sure that our kids get a chance to spend enough time with their dear most Grand Parents.
