problems happiness share with parents and grand parents
All
your parents want is the love of your children, and their respect. It
is easy for children to back-answer grandparents. Teach them how to be
respectful.
Grandparents, whose life revolves around their
grandchildren, are rarely given the love they deserve or crave. On the
other hand, those grandparents who have a life of their own, who are
involved human beings, who have a social life, a career or fulfilling
hobbies, tend to be more respected by their grandchildren.
Teach your children to be polite to their grandparents. This does not
mean that you should quash every argument at the outset. Let the
children and their grandparents speak their mind, but at the same time
make sure that your children are not rude. If they back-answer once and
get away with it, they will do so again, so you need to make sure that
you check them the very first time they back-answer.
It makes
more sense for the grandparent to check the child when the child is rude
to him or her, or the child will feel that the grandparent is not able
to stand up for himself or herself. Often parents drill it into the
child's head that the adult is always right, and no matter, what, we
should respect them. While certain respect is due to every elderly
person, there is only so much respect a child will give. After that, a
child will give respect where he feels respect is due, and no matter
what you do, once your child grows up, if he feels an elderly person is
not to be respected, the child will not hesitate before being short with
such elderly person.
When you are sending your children to
your grandparents home to spend the day, never give the children the
feeling that they are doing their grandparents a favour by spending time
with them. Let the children know that their grandparents love them and
are happy to have them at any time, but the children should behave
themselves when they are with their grandparents as neither the
grandparents, nor you, will tolerate any nonsense.
You can
allow your grandparents to spoil your children, but make sure your
grandparents check the children if the children are ever rude to them.
Teach by example. Do not correct your parents in front of your
children, as your children will tend to do the same. Similarly, never
lose your temper with your parents, or raise your voice at them in front
of your kids, even if it is for something like telling your parents to
have their medication on time. Be as polite to your parents as possible
in front of your children, and your children will follow your example.
While all parents know the effect their upbringing has on their
children, they are still unable to pinpoint what they did right or
wrong. When you go for a party with your children, do not come home and
laugh about the antics of the guests with them, or speak bad about any
particular aunt, uncle or relative. Your children will grow up to be
negative, critical human beings, noticing the bad in someone before
noticing the good. Instead, if you have a grouch with someone, discuss
it with your spouse, not with your children. If you had an argument with
someone, leave the kids out of it. Your children don't have to go out
of their way to be nice to everyone, but showing respect and being civil
to elders is the essence of good breeding.
