In the 1960s and 1970s, families with four or five brothers and sisters were not many. Most of the children were left alone and could only solve the basic problem of food and clothing. After the children get married, how can the old man take care of each of his grandchildren? So most of the parents take care of their children by themselves.

In modern society, the number of one-child families is gradually increasing, and it is common for four elderly people to take care of one grandchild.

As we all know, educating children is an "important task". Children are the hope and future of two families, but it is really difficult to decide whether to take care of the children full-time or leave them to the elderly.

Xiaoyun is a white-collar worker and had a child soon after getting married. Since she works and lives in other places, the two elderly people only come when she is pregnant and giving birth, so she can only resign and go home to be a full-time mother.

Originally, my wife could take care of this small family with my single income, but due to the epidemic, my husband lost his job due to company layoffs. The new job he found did not pay as well as before, and he also had to pay off the mortgage. , life becomes tighter.

Xiaoyun wanted to find a job, but her husband's family had to take care of her sister-in-law who had just given birth, so she had to ask her mother to quit her job to help her take care of the child. But Xiaoyun's mother didn't understand the language, wasn't familiar with the environment, and her children were at an age where they loved to run around and make trouble, so they couldn't stay at home.

There were several times when Xiaoyun’s mother got lost with her children; another time she was accidentally hit by a car while chasing her children, which made Xiaoyun very worried. Later, Xiaoyun found a job that didn't make much money but had free time, and sent her child to an early childhood education class. In the second half of the year, her child went to kindergarten, and the pressure of life became much easier.

There are many families in Xiaoyun’s situation. Everything has pros and cons, and the same goes for old people raising children. When modern young people think of old people taking care of children, the first thing they think of are the bad aspects.

For example, the elderly will pamper their children, and the outdated parenting concepts will mislead the children. They feel that there was something wrong with their original education, and they don’t want their children to do it again.

The essence of the disadvantage of letting the elderly take care of their children is that the older generation’s outdated parenting concepts can no longer keep up with this era, such as doting and doing everything, etc., which will prevent children from being independent.

But as a young person who is already a parent, can we deny the benefits of raising children for the elderly because of different parenting styles? In fact, for the elderly to take care of their children, in addition to providing young parents with no worries when working hard in their careers, there are also the following benefits: 1. Being diligent and thrifty, eating light and hygienic

There are few restaurants and takeaways that are truly suitable for children. In terms of food, the elderly who believe in being diligent and thrifty have light tastes and rarely order takeout, and the meals they cook are also suitable for children.

There are also many elderly people who choose rice, flour, grains and oils produced in their hometown, which are natural and have no additives and are very good for the health of their children.

Even if the tastes of some elderly people are not suitable for children, as a family, we should communicate peacefully and jointly formulate recipes, which not only enhances the relationship but is also beneficial to the children. When the family atmosphere is good, the children will also You can grow up healthier and happier! 2. Be patient with your children and always pay attention to them

Young people always have their own careers to be busy with. Modern society is generally under great pressure. If you are running around for a day, you have the patience and energy to answer the question. There are not many parents who have children with all kinds of strange problems, and there are not many parents who hold their mobile phones when they come home.

This is not the case for the elderly. Some of them neither know how to use smartphones nor want to be bored at home. They like to take their children out to play. Having children running and jumping is also good for their health!

Children need companionship when they grow up. The love that grandparents give to their grandchildren cannot be replaced by any child care agency or nanny. What they give their children is the most patient and attentive companionship, as well as the psychological support and safety they provide. Feelings cannot be given by parents who are busy with their careers.

In addition, the addition of the elderly also makes up for the lack of a father or mother for some children in single-parent families.

Whether young parents want the elderly to help take care of their children is a multiple-choice question.

When you choose the elderly to take care of your children, you must establish good communication with the elderly. The company and education with the children must be of high quality and experience, and do not push all the responsibilities to the elderly.
