Plenty of time. The grandparents of most one-child families are between 50 and 60 years old and have retired or are about to retire. Compared with parents whose children are busy, the elderly have more disposable time after leaving work.
Taking care of young children is also a time-consuming thing. So it seems a very suitable choice for grandparents to do it for you. On the other hand, for the elderly, looking after their grandchildren is also like a special job, which can help them alleviate the sense of loss caused by sudden departure.
A stable state of mind. Young parents are in the stage of fighting for their careers, and the social competition is fierce. Sometimes it is inevitable to bring back the tension and contradiction at work. Although children are young, they are sensitive to their parents' negative emotions. Therefore, adults may inadvertently pass on negative psychology to children, which will hinder the healthy growth of the baby.
Grandparents who are out of the working environment have less pressure on life, so their mentality is much more peaceful. At the same time, the elderly are often childlike, more patient, like to play with their babies, and it is easier to establish a harmonious relationship with their children and create a relaxed family environment.
Experience in caring for children. Grandparents generally have practical experience in raising children, and they have certain foresight on different stages of children's growth and common problems. Especially when the baby is sick or has an accident, the elderly are often more experienced, and parents can be reminded to take the right measures or seek medical treatment in time, thus reducing the danger.
Rich social experience. Grandparents have more social experience and life experience than their children's parents, and often can treat early childhood education with a longer-term and open-minded attitude, which is helpful to create a relaxed and multifaceted growth environment for children.
