5 Reasons Toddlers Must Spend More Time With Grandparents

5 reasons toddlers must spend more time with grandparents

Grandparents offer unconditional love to their young ones.

A few decades back, almost everyone used to live in joint families. Now, the families are more nuclear. As a result, children do not get to spend much time with their relatives and cousins, but more importantly the warmth and love of grandparents. But, did you know that while growing up, children need the care and affection of their grandparents too?

Grandparents are wise people who have extensive knowledge about various things. They have many stories and experiences to share which can be a great bonding time between a child and their grandparents, especially in the growing years. They are also the ones who can teach valuable life lessons to the kids. Here are a list of reasons why your toddler needs to be around grandparents more-

Unconditional love

Grandparents love is always unconditional. The support and care they show for their grandkids are strong and will always try to protect the young ones. While parents may scold their child for being wrong, grandparents often step in and help the parents and the child understand their mistakes.

Connect with roots

Grandparents are like a walking library with so many life experiences they are waiting to share. During your child’s growing up years, they need to learn about their roots, heritage, traditions, language and culture. They can also help bridge the gap between the generations through their stories and knowledge.

Full support

While parents take on more strict roles to discipline their children, the little ones also need a bit of warmth and sometimes unconditional support, even when they make tiny mistakes. Grandparents generally offer full support to their little ones, be it giving in to their tantrums to buy their favourite toy or chocolates, or to spend more time playing or watching TV.

Spending time

Working parents generally opt for daycare or creche for their little ones or a full-time nanny. But, instead of spending their time there, children will be a lot more happy and comfortable if parents let the grandparents step in for them. From taking the young ones for walks, listening them to talk, making them say their rhymes out loud, or cooking their favourite foods, it is great bonding time between them.

Cheerleaders

Believe it or not, grandparents are one of the greatest cheerleaders. They boost children’s confidence, teach them how to tackle challenges and help them pick themselves up when down. After all, every kid needs some pampering and love.
