Grandparents make great Sanctuary Guardians
Grandparents make great Sanctuary Guardians
Grandparents create good conditions for the perfect
sanctuary for kids growing up and who have both parents working full time to
keep the family going. Being with them is like being inside a protected and well-guarded
sanctuary that offers the kind of security and confidence every child longs for
when growing up without the strict social rules or pressures experienced by
having to listen and obey their parents unconditionally.
Being raised in captivity (parents) requires patience and
understanding and less mood swings. A sometimes volatile domestic situation, it
seems that grandparents are easier to work with than parents. Grandparents are
still parents but they provide a social buffer than in unexplainable but real
when you look at their inherent nature to be protective yet not possessed with
a natural intensity or assertiveness that shuts down communications.
Grandparents raise their grandkids with all the needs of
kids including those who are high maintenance in nature and can adapt to become
more aware of their social needs because they have the time to listen and
understand even the most trivial concerns expressed.
Grandparents are excellent companions – they are very social
and flexible in their schedule to accommodate the special needs of growing kids
who want to explore the world more often while seeking out their own emotional
needs and avoiding loneliness.
Grandparents do not let their grandkids run free – they know
what the parameters are and make rules not too restrictive but put into place
to ensure order, safety, avoid disasters or accidents and other things that
kids can get into these days. Giving them space, they also ensure they are
never alone or unattended to when with them or around them. Grandparents give
them room to breathe and at the same time, provide enough room to keep things
safe.
Grandparents are great at teaching the
art of socialization – they will take you places, show your objects and give
you new experiences almost daily. Since they use their own experiences as a
guide, they ensure the kids are adequately socialized for fitting in society
and reduce stress making sure the kids don’t suffer any more pressure than they
can handle growing up.
Grandparents are like an insurance
policy – they know what to do in case of accidents or incidents involving the
family, the law, the neighbors or even strangers. They help take care of their
health care and find ways to provide enrichments that provide an environmental
and psychological benefit in every day of their lives. They keep the minds
stimulated and show how or why things are done to make the world a better place
to live and teach good practices to prevent natural erosion or destruction of
nature and the earth.
Grandparents provide containment without
conflict – they know how vital it is to give the kids freedoms and provide a
space that allows them to go places that are safe and less dangerous to them or
others. They are given incentives to behave and follow good manners along with
sound rules.
Last but never the least important,
grandparents provide the perfect sanctuary by ensuring the kids have the right nutrition
and eat the proper foods for a healthy body. They provide counseling and advice
that steers them away from problems with the law as they know the legalities
involved and volunteer to attend, participate or commit to help with multiple
activities that include school and after school activities, weekend sports,
setting up parties, transport them to various places and keep them safe doing
that giving them the opportunity to get the experiences they need to learn more
about life and enjoy the things that creates their identity and better at who
they are.
