Om Shanti.... :) SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR AGED PARENTS In many cultures, parents are kept in the first place even before the teacher and almighty and particularly when they become older, they should be provided the right kind of care and love. So, our parents also get older when our age advances and how many of us have realized this? We still think them as youngsters and so we are not spending any quality time with them. Generally, old people look not for financial support, but they look for the love and affection from their children. The fact is that they would have tried a lot to rejoice us when we were kids, but now, it is our turn to make them feel joyful and all that is needed by them is love, care and affection and so making them happier would not be a difficult task. TALK to them Generally, older people feel deprived when their family members do not talk to them. Even though, you might be a busy individual, just try to spend some time with your loving parents. At least, make it a point to visit their room and talk to them for a while before starting to your office and after returning from office. Just inform them that you are starting and you have reached home and after returning, talk about some interesting things that happened in your office today and this will surely make them feel happier. When talking with them ensure whether they have taken the medicines for today correctly and just spending five minutes with them will make a huge difference in their life. Make them feel PROUD Always remember that your present life is the gift given by your parents. So, do not forget to acknowledge their efforts in growing you and this will surely make them proud. Even you can thank them by arranging a small party with the help of your kids and they will surely feel proud about the love you have for them. Give them IMPORTANCE Many people think that old people cannot arrive at any decisions as their judgement capacity has reduced. But, the fact is that they have lots of experience and a wealth of knowledge and so they can provide you the right kind of guidance in your toughest situations. So, whenever you will have to take an important decision in your life like your promotion or transfer, the education of your child, etc.…. consult with them as and when you are confused and they can provide you the right kind of guidance. This will also make them happy that their suggestion is also given importance. So, we all should take care of our elderly parents and feel happier.
