1, saving family expenses

Taking care of the baby by the elderly, on the one hand, can make mom and dad work with peace of mind and increase family income, on the other hand, it also saves a lot of family expenses and creates better economic conditions for the baby.

2. Develop good habits of work and rest.

Most young people like to stay up late, sleep late at night, and the baby also sleeps late, which leads to his lack of sleep, which is not conducive to his health.

On the contrary, the rules of life of a baby and an old man are the same. Going to bed early and getting up early and being energetic all day are also helpful to his physical development.

3. Let the baby get patient company

Mom and dad are busy with work and are under great pressure. They are often impatient with their children, irritable and angry easily.

Compared with young people, the older generation has a relatively peaceful mentality, a slower pace of life and plenty of time, and will be more patient with their babies. When something happens, it will also let him take his time, which will help improve his autonomy and self-confidence.

4. Cultivate your baby's good character

In fact, old people are sometimes like children. Because you are old, you will be slow and inflexible. These characteristics can stimulate the baby's compassion and desire to help others.

Being able to help adults will make the baby feel very proud, and it will also help to exercise his autonomy and help others.

Second, the possible problems of intergenerational support.

But then again, although intergenerational education has its advantages, there are still some problems.

1, the baby lacks parental care.

The old man takes the baby and the parents go to work. Babies spend less and less time in contact with their parents every day. For him, the biggest pain is the "lack" of his parents. Whether he fell, his toys were robbed, or he took part in kindergarten activities, his parents were not around.

So mom and dad should spend more time with the baby after coming home from work, so that he can understand that you will not be lacking in his education.

If the old man lives in his hometown with his baby, mom and dad should take time to go back and have a look, call him more and have a video chat to learn about his life. Even if his injured parents are not around, comfort afterwards is a remedy.

2. The conflict of parenting ideas.

It is inevitable that two generations will take care of the baby together. Sometimes, old people like their babies very much, but their parents want to discipline them strictly. Old people believe in health care and buy all kinds of health products for their babies, but parents only believe in food supplements and don't want him to take supplements.

In the face of conflict, parents should not blame the elderly first, they can do this:

3. Communicate well with the elderly

To communicate with the elderly, one premise is to respect the hard work of the elderly most, that is, to discuss things, and not to deny the ability of the elderly and their love for the baby because of a conflict.

For example, the old man insists on putting a lot of clothes on his baby. When he was noisy, he broke out in a sweat.

At this time, you can give your baby one less piece of clothes, and then explain to the old man, "I know you are afraid of your baby freezing, but he is very active. You don't have to wear so much for him, just wear one more than us adults."

Instead of accusing the old man, "I always dress my baby so much, and I really don't care about my baby at all." This not only denies the old people's ability and care for their babies, but also dampens their enthusiasm and hurts their self-esteem and emotions.

4. Grasp the principle bottom line.

Grasping the bottom line is something that hurts your baby's health, resolutely stop it and stand firm.

Some old people still treat their babies in traditional and unscientific ways. For example, the baby has a cold and a high fever, and the old people say that they don't have to go to the hospital, just cover their sweat. At this time, you must stop it and send him to the hospital at once.

Usually, you can also exchange "parenting classics" with the elderly with a modest attitude and learn new and scientific parenting knowledge with the elderly. In the process of study and practice, we should affirm what the elderly have done well and express our gratitude in time.

In fact, whether it is raised by parents themselves or by generations, there are always imperfections. Don't worry too much. Since we have chosen foster care for practical reasons, why not take a positive attitude, think more about good places and communicate with the elderly in an open and inclusive manner?
