Grandparents Make Children Happier

Children who are allowed to grow up with their grandparents are lucky. Thanks to this bond, they get to experience more love and emotional confirmation. In addition, they will receive an exceptional legacy of memories that will be in the mind of the child throughout life.

However, we are not suggesting here that children who grow up without the closeness of grandparents are less happy. Instead, we want to say that childhood is a unique opportunity during which a large amount of stimulation and bonds based on unconditional love creates emotional maturity for the child.

Interesting studies have shown that  children left in the care of grandparents instead of kindergartens gain more fluent language skills. They are also safer on an emotional level.

It is clear that sometimes parents are not very close to their own parents. This makes the development of a bond between a grandparent and a grandchild a little difficult. However, if this is your own situation, don’t hesitate,  let your child enjoy the relationship with their grandparents every now and then.

Childhood is a phase that ends pretty quickly. In order to help your children develop a strong and happy personality at an early age, it is very important to take advantage of this bond.

Indeed, most of us know that  grandparents are able to give tons of love to children  and that they have magic in their pockets. They are always ready to give the smile that brings out the best in our children.

After the age of three, children begin to benefit from a stronger bond with their grandparents

At the age of 0-3, proximity to mother and father is what the child needs most. This is the first social and loving environment in which the development of a child’s brain and the need for affection are strengthened.

Emotional development related to communication is better in those children who have grown up with grandparents.

One good thing is that grandparents are often insanely energetic. Coming into the patterns of a grandchild rejuvenates them, and they get a new role they love. This role includes everything from: a loving caregiver, a storyteller, a gift giver and an exporter to long park walks.

• Grandparents no longer have to be parents, so they don’t have to limit and prescribe. It is no longer their job, and they are very happy to get rid of it.
• They don’t want all the control that parents have. They guide their grandchildren in a permissive way – grandparents have wonderful experiences and spring mornings that taste like their grandchild’s favorite food.
• These positive dynamics and awesome reinforcements stimulate language learning in children. As we have already said, children do not receive the same stimulation while in kindergarten.

• Grandparents interact with grandchildren constantly. Almost unknowingly, they  turn into capable architects regarding a child’s communication abilities.

Grandparents leave a lasting emotional mark on their grandchildren

In this world, which is busy and full of chaos and responsibilities for parents, grandparents are especially important. They already know how to appreciate the moment that is here and now.

• It should not be forgotten that  modern grandparents are “young” people because they are in good physical condition  and willing to experience, live, and continue to have experiences.
• Their knowledge, gained over a long period of time, has taught what is important. They understand that the legacy they leave to children is above material things. The most important thing is to leave a positive emotional imprint on grandchildren.

• Children and grandparents move at the same pace. Grandparents value the present more than any other person. They notice how the insects approach the flowers, how raindrops hit the window, and how a piece of chocolate melts above a warm cup of milk.

Everything is magical, and these moments are shared in the spirit of a great partnership. Children get a unique opportunity to learn. They get to know about happiness without pretense and artificiality.

Beloved children are happy and safe

This is the key and secret to raising:  children who are loved, valued, and respected become happier adults as their self-esteem develops better.

Grandparents increase this influence significantly as long as they are prosperous – if they are optimistic, wise, confident, and able to get the light to light in the hearts of the people around them.

So don’t hesitate! If your parents are made of all this, pure affection and tireless love, let them develop such a bond with your children. The many moments that grandchildren and grandparents share are details, anecdotes, and memories that your child will never forget.
