If you can't find a common language with your grandparents, then you need to act now to build and strengthen your relationship. Do you remember how much fun it was as a child? How did you like to visit your ancestors, go with them to the country, read books together? And now, in an eternal hurry, you cannot even look at them for a minute, get out into nature together, do elementary work that they are no longer able to do? Or can you? Your relationship can become intimate again with the simple tips below.
Instructions
Step 1
Grandmothers and grandfathers most of all need not medicines and elixirs of youth, but your attention. In your free time, be sure to visit them, take an interest in their life, health, talk about historical events that your ancestors remember and what they did in those moments of history. In general, there are millions of questions that you can talk about with your grandparents. What was fashionable in their youth? How did they dress? What kind of cosmetics did you use? How were abstracts prepared without the Internet? Where did you meet?
Step 2
The past is the past. But you still need to live in the present. Tell your grandparents about modern reality. You can show them how easy it is to make an appointment with a doctor online without having to wait in line. Download their favorite movies and watch with the whole family. Only in this matter you need to be patient and polite, since your ancestors are unlikely to immediately understand modern gadgets, it is hard for them. You can also take them to a restaurant that serves exotic dishes. Or donate a yoga class for seniors. A thousand options.
Step 3
Nothing unites as much as a common cause. Prepare a family dinner with your grandmother, and you can go to the forest to pick mushrooms or go fishing with your grandfather. Ask your grandmother to teach you how to knit, embroider, draw.
Step 4
Help your ancestors in difficult times. Call them and ask if you need to go to the store, help around the house? Even if your relatives refuse, take matters into your own hands. You too will get old someday and you will also need support and help, remember this.
Step 5
If your grandparents live in another city or village, then do not forget to call them. Two or three minutes of conversation and a good mood are guaranteed for you and your loved ones. Don't ask a lot of questions, rather tell them about yourself.
