importance of grand parents in up bringing

IT is so nice to be born and brought up in a joint family with endless number of people to guide and support you in your tough time specially the grand parents they never wish any thing from you they just love you and wish to spend endless time with you they tell you about their time and tell you stories to entertain you they taught you about our tradition and values give rewards to you when ever you do some thing good just to motivate you to move along in the right direction and have endless wealth of love to sawer on you they had plenty of life experience to share with you it is always a pleasure to see the respect which they get from the people the day appears to be very small when you are with them when you walk along them to the temple it gives you endless pleasure to sit with some other elderly people and talking about their time but in modern day living are we not forgetting the strength of relation in modern times mens life is limited to work and home he not been able to sit with family members and share a word with others as a result festivals have lost their charm and the trend of nuclear family has develop and we may see that clashes are common problem with in the families because the people feel reluctant to talk to each other and there is a lack of discipline with in the family grand parents plays a very important role in maintaining the discipline because their is no other work left for them in spite of watching the activities of their young once
