The wonderful relation of grandparents grandchildren
A man is a social animal and he enjoys and carries so many relations in his
lifetime. He gets close to few relatives and simultaneously remains unattached with few. A relation who straddles
three generations but carries and bears no less importance than any other relation is the relation of grandparents
grandchildren.
In fact, this is one of very few soothing relations, which is entirely based and
developed on affection, love, care and reciprocity. A man when he gets to get his son or daughter’s child in his
hands, he sees his son or daughter in this child. He becomes grandfather by nature, but in fact, he becomes father
again. He sees this child grow as he saw his child grow. At every stage of upbringing, he sees a reflection of his
own child in this child. Whatever this grandfather does now to facilitate and care for his grandchild, he in fact
did it all with his own child.
On the other hand, this child finds an all and all-loving cushion in his
grandfather’s arms. He keeps growing and starts to believe that he can do anything and get away with his
grandfather’s help and intervention. His father may scold him, chide him, sometimes thrash him, but his father’s
father is going to give him all the affection he has, his father’s father is going to shower all the love he has on
him.
Moreover, them relation becomes even closer since they have this availability for
each other. Father goes out to work, but normally, grandfather, in the winters of his life, stays back at home and
remains available throughout the day. This gives the child immense support and helping growing up in a good way. It
is usually that the child is more comfortable with the grandparents more than his own parents are. This is because
they are always available for them.
When the child begins to perceive the world, he sees the world through the glasses
of the person who is available to him for most of the time. The grandmother takes care of the child just like his
own mother and the grandfather is always there to take support just like the father.
The grandparents grandchildren relation is as pure and as any other relating and
its sanctity should always be maintained. Many times because of the internal conflicts between the families, the
grandparent relation is affected. Many times the issues are also taken to the court but should always be tried to
sort in an amicable way. This should generally be avoided as the grandparents are very much attached to their child
and anything that departs them from them might affect their health. When they have spent most of their lives, they
want to spend the remaining lives in peace.
With the grandparents grandchildren relation, the grandparents get to live their
life again as a child and this gets them go a long way and spend the rest of their life in peace.
