It can be rewarding to spend time with your grandparents or your grandchildren. With the thrill of Christmas in the air, everyone is of good cheer. You don’t really have to do anything special with them, just sit, visit (talk and or listen). It is fun to reminisce about the old days, you can even take a few notes, for future generations. Doing so can help create family traditions that will last for generations.
Having children spend time with grandparents can teach children positive attitudes toward aging and help them develop skills to enhance their own lifelong learning.
If you want some suggestions here are a few:
· Going to see the lights
· Going to a play
· Decorating the house and wrapping presents
· Playing games or puzzles
· Going shopping
· Make Christmas presents
· Make Christmas cookies
· Make snow angles
· Watch a movie
At this Christmas time, take the time to get to know each other and bond. This will help to create deep loving relationships. There is something special about the bond between a grandparent and a grandchild; it has the special interaction on a level that is once removed from the day-to-day life of home.
