As i have heard that human being gets child twice. Once is when they get born and once is when they start growing old. In old age grand people needs someone to play and talk with them. and i think grandchildren fulfills this need of grandparents. They play and talk and pass time with eachother together. and i think this is the reason that grandchildren and grandparents are close to eachother.

I think its the other way around, grandparents love grandchildren. Grandparents tend to love our children more than us. I think they enjoy seeing children around them again, since their own children are grown ups already and don't spend that much time around them.

I know that my grandchildren keep me feeling young because they are always wanting me to play with them. I love spending time just listening to the things they have to say...I think that I have learned from my mistakes and get to change things by the quality of time I spend with them

Grandparents have learned a lot from being parents when they were younger and now they know how to avoid the mistakes unexperienced parents usually do .Plus ,they have a lot of free time that parents don't have and also are stress-free of working to have an income for living expenses .

I grew up in the hands of my grandparents. They nortured my spirit well. I can say that I love them so much because they take good care of me. My real parents are always busy in their career. My grandparents are always at my side to support me.

I think that most grandparents obviously have more life experience than parents, and they use that perspective when dealing with their grandchildren.

Also sometimes I think that the discipline isn't handled very strictly by the grandparents, which can make them more "fun" to some children than their parents.

In my experience grandparents tend to spoil children more than their parents. They see them less, so when they do see them they have more time to spend with them.

Usually, grandparents have more patience than parents normally do. The kids will be quick to notice this and enjoy time spent with their grandparents more because they get to have more freedom when it comes to playing and exploring things out of curiosity. However, this statement does not apply to all grandparents.
