Adults who were fortunate enough to know their grandmothers when they were children probably learned a great deal from them.
Grandfathers are also an important part of the growing up years.
There are some pieces of advice that many children learned which are quite universal in nature.
Some useful advice from grandmothers (or possibly from mothers): • Be grateful for your blessings and the things you have • Be polite to everyone around you • Always say "thank you" when someone does something nice for you • Say "you're welcome" when someone tells you thanks • Write thank you notes when you are given a gift • Hand people the scissors with your hand holding the closed cutting edges • Beware of strangers • Keep your room clean • Help around the house • Be nice to your siblings • Remember your family will always be your family The senior citizen grandparents who live close enough to their grandchildren to see them on a regular basis are fortunate.
They are lucky if they are young enough and healthy enough to be able to enjoy the grandchildren and spend time with them.
The grandchildren who are able to spend time with their grandparents should soak in the wisdom and advice which may be available from these older family members.
The grandparents who are able to participate in the activities of their grandchildren are blessed to be around the children who generally love them in spite of everything and anything they might have ever done or said.
Grandparents can continue to teach their grandchildren even if they are not able to be in close proximity to their home.
They can call them on the phone to speak to them personally.
They could send cards and letters for special occasions or at any time.
Children love to receive mail addressed to them.
Family issues and needs can often be addressed by grandparents who may be able to teach their grandchildren when the children's parents are unable to effectively reach them.
While their teenage grandchildren may be reluctant to talk to their parents about problems, they might be more willing to discuss important matters with their grandparents who can play a valuable role in the lives of these young people.
It is a privilege to be a grandparent and one which should be cherished.
The nurturing of a child by a grandparent can be vital to the happiness and well being of children.
