Learn to live with your grandparents at home, be patient and show them all the affection and love that is possible, share important moments with them and integrate them into the activities carried out by the whole family.
How rewarding it feels to be loved, and when grandparents live in our home, love is doubled. It is logical that when they arrive suddenly you feel strange, because now you have to share your things and your house with them. But it's a matter of adaptation, both on your part and on the part of your grandparents. They adapt with a little difficulty to your life and you must make them feel comfortable. This is a task that will fill you with satisfaction to see your grandparents happy when you take care of them, it is enough to feel their gaze of joy and love when you are with them.
But, how to attend them? First, you have to watch out for their care, not leaving things lying or crossed, to avoid accidents. In the same way, being aware of their needs without abandoning yours, for example, stairs are a problem for elderly people, you can choose to put on the ground floor all the things that your grandparents use most frequently, including the television, to prevent them from going up and down.
In general, grandmothers love being in the kitchen, and grandparents fixing imperfects. Give them a responsibility in your home so that they feel useful, you can start by studying them first, without them realizing it, to know what they like to do the most inside the house and then ask them for help based on the results. That will make them feel part of the home, of the team that everyone who lives in that house make up.
Integrate them into the Family
Grandparents like to take care of their grandchildren too, let yourself be loved by them, that makes them feel useful and it is a way they have to show their affection towards you.
When your grandmother wants to make you dinner, accept. When your grandfather wants to help you do a task, accept, even if you have to correct part of it later.
It may be the first step towards integrating your grandparents into the home, but that is not enough. We all need love and they are no exception. Get close to them, their experience makes them an enriching source of knowledge.
Do not miss the opportunity to talk with them because it is important to know where you come from and it is very exciting to know the story that made you alive. In this way, your grandparents will be happy to have told you about their experiences, joys, sorrows and memories; and you will have learned many things.
Forces to Live
Hug them, tell them you love them, show them, they love you and want all the best for you, give them love and you will see how the amount you receive back multiplies. Do their activities with them, sit with them to watch people go by, share television with them, come closer when they are talking, tell them jokes, play with them, ask them to explain what they do, accompany them on a walk, take them to the cafe.
On the other hand, when necessary, grandparents are also rigorous in terms of education; when the situation is difficult, they intervene and never do so in bad faith. Be patient with them, you must listen to them, know what they think of this or that thing, because remember that they have already lived through many difficult circumstances and have already learned to overcome them properly. That is a right that grandparents have over you, for the simple fact of being. Although sometimes grandparents go beyond the limits and occupy tasks that correspond to the parents. In these situations it is necessary to stop them before it is late, that is the task of the parents, what you can do is tell them what is happening so that they know what to do or tell your grandparents logically with the words and the right tone, respecting them forever.
Lastly, treat them how you would like to be treated when you are their age. The worst thing they can do, when you have the resources to have them in your home, is send them to a nursing home. The greatest fear of people is dying alone. Avoid nursing homes, because being in such terrible solitude, the elderly feel useless, misunderstood, without love and wanting to cease to exist. Love them always, at all times, because they will thank you and you will give them more strength to live.
