Perhaps you know that your grandparents played a very important role in our lives. From them we learn customs, hear stories and get inspiration. From them, we learned how to read and write and work honestly, which helped us in our profession and we considered them as role models.

In fact, children receive selfless love, emotional support and protection from their grandparents. It plays an important role in laying the foundation of the child's development. They develop the child's good manners and also familiarize him with their culture. Nowadays, many parents have problems in performing such a role due to the fact that they are working.

For children who do not have the sense of parentage due to their working parents, their grandparents make up for that lack.

Distance in a relationship

Recently, due to various social reasons, the need to celebrate Grandparents Day is increasing.

Nowadays, the trend of single family is increasing where children live only with their parents and their grandparents are not with them.

Single family also has various advantages. But from the point of view of grandparents and grandchildren, various kinds of problems are also occurring in such families.

According to experts, we may be fulfilling the physical needs of our elderly parents, but we also need to understand their emotional needs.

What should be done?

According to sociologists, the impact of the changing social and economic environment is affecting us, our parents and our children.

People are finding it difficult to maintain a balance between their work and social responsibilities. They are neither able to give time to their parents, nor to their children.

In such a situation, the health of elderly parents is also affected and sometimes children are becoming victims of bad behavior.

Usually grandparents and grandchildren live in different places ie village and city. Sometimes the country is different.

In this case, it is not possible for them to meet even during holidays. Due to the development of information technology, internet and video calling have become easy means of communication.

However, it is not right to depend too much on technology to fill such a gap. Because human touch has its own importance, which is possible only when face to face.

Even if you have to live apart from your parents because of your business, you should take the time to visit them or call them where you are. Also, if their children are old enough to travel on their own, they should be sent to visit their grandparents during vacations. This will make your parents happy and so will your children.

Experts say, 'Anyone should understand the emotional needs of their children as well as parents and take care of them.
