Under the pressure of life and work, parents hand over the responsibility of children's life growth and education to grandparents or grandparents. This is a common way of education in modern society, which we call intergenerational education. The following are the benefits of intergenerational education that I share. Let's have a look.

Benefits of intergenerational education

Wisdom of different generations: The older generation can gain the trust of both parents because of their delicate mind and rich growth experience, so they can take care of their children more completely and properly in their daily lives.

Leisure mentality of the elderly: Compared with parents who are under work pressure, the mood and mentality of the elders are much more stable and calm, and they will have more spirit, patience and love to accompany and nurture the next generation of children.

The mentality passed down from generation to generation: it is easy for the elderly to establish close feelings with their grandchildren, which can create a good emotional foundation for teaching their children; In addition, regarding the concept that grandchildren are closely related to themselves and love my house and my dog, the elderly are more sympathetic to their children at home.

Disadvantages of intergenerational education

Overindulgence: the elders in the family overindulge their children, which easily leads to their willfulness, high dependence and low self-care ability.

The old ways are hard to change: different generations are bound to have more conservative and conservative ideas, which may be harmful to children's ability to enter society and adapt to groups in the future.

Excessive interference from elders: when parents put forward strict requirements for their children, elders at home often interfere, making it impossible for parents to correct their children's mistakes and shortcomings immediately.

Optimize the intergenerational education model

Close family relationship: Children can truly feel the warmth of family relationship only in the family environment where their elders love and strict father's loving mother educates them. For modern children, a harmonious family relationship is the best growth tonic.

There are many things and problems that parents can communicate with their elders in advance, such as: what the elderly can't indulge, where the elderly should coquetry, when children should spend more time with their parents, and so on. In order to avoid disputes.

Moderate time allocation: elders can't take care of their children's daily life. If children depend heavily on them, it will have a negative impact on their growth.
