Video: Role of grandparents
2024 Author: Seth Attwood | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-16 15:55
Grandparents were the most important and integral component in the natural and nature-based system of upbringing.
First, a father and mother might not have known many important things due to their age and lack of life experience. The traditional transfer of knowledge through the generation is the most natural and logical.
Secondly, the fading energy of the elderly ate harmoniously when communicating with children, who gush with energy due to age. Children's vitality was always more than enough for grandparents - everyone benefited from this interaction.
Thirdly, grandmothers and grandfathers in large families with many children naturally organized joint and separate education of boys and girls with a clear separation of male and female principles, and there was no place for purely female education, which is now pressing in society from kindergarten to institute.
An example is the article below, where a distorted society with a partial return to traditional values gets amazing results.
Of course, in Russian culture it is now not customary to hand over elderly people, like suitcases, to lockers called "nursing homes", but in our country, as in all modern civilization, grandparents practically cannot deal with their grandchildren - they pensions, or they are firmly connected to the zombie box. It also often happens that the experience that they can pass on to their grandchildren, unfortunately, is much worse than what busy parents can give …
A nursing home was combined with a kindergarten
“This is the best idea in decades!” Say the locals. This is an amazing home in Seattle, Washington, with a kindergarten and a retirement home under the same roof. Young children have a tremendous opportunity to communicate with the older generation, learn different things from them, get a lot of attention from adults, while older people have great pleasure in communicating with children, as well as an incentive not to lose heart and enjoy life.
Providence Mount St. Vincent accommodates 400 senior citizens, as well as several dozen kids who have become part of the International Learning Center (ILC) program. Since 1991, ILC has been trying to empower children and adults to interact with each other. Five days a week, little ones come to visit the older generation to play music, dance, art together, tell each other stories, cook dinner and do many other exciting things. Thus, children have many loving grandparents, they better understand the process of growing up and aging, and the elderly residents of the center again feel their need, demand, they are happy to share their experience and love.
The establishment became a central theme in Evan Briggs' documentary "Present Perfect", which explores growing up and aging in America. “Filming in this amazing house allowed me to see with new eyes how such different generations, separated by the chasm of years, became one, one society. Meeting the amazing residents of Providence Mount, I realized how much we all lose by leaving these elderly people live out their days alone."
According to director Briggs, the elderly residents of the house "underwent a complete transformation in the presence of children." He says: "Before the children enter the room, the old people look half-dead, half-asleep. It is a completely depressing sight. And then the children come in for an art or music lesson, or to make sandwiches for the homeless, or whatever. they have a project on this day - and the elderly suddenly come to life and energy spills out of them!"

Where did the grandfathers disappear to?
Grandpa is not just grandma's husband. He is a kind man with intelligent eyes, a gray beard and work-worn hands. In that tender time of life, when you get to know the world, grandfather must sit you on his knees and talk about distant stars and great heroes. Such grandfathers disappeared somewhere. And the grandmothers remained. They even felt they were the masters of the situation. There is no one to shout at them. There is no one to put them in their place. Grandmothers button up your buttons and feed you semolina. And how can anything sensible grow out of a person if in childhood he does not hear about stars and great people, but eats porridge from women's hands?
He calls his grandmother "mother" and his mother "daughter". But he has a real friendship with his grandson. They are privy to one secret. The world is equally fresh and mysterious for them.
Therefore, at dinner they wink slyly at each other and laugh with their eyes. Now they will get up and walk together. Maybe fishing, or maybe fixing a bike. It is interesting for the grandson to live, but the grandfather is not afraid to die.
We have not had any wars or epidemics for a long time. Nobody killed the grandfathers, but they disappeared somewhere. They abandoned their grandmothers and went to others. They foolishly squandered their lives and did not live to see their grandchildren. They did not start a family and remained childless.
In short, everything was loosened and moved from the base. That is why there are so many capricious and nervous children in the world. And there are a lot of aging men who are useless to anyone, drinking out of boredom and not calling anyone the word "granddaughter".

From the comments: The future grandfathers were planted in advance with programs for self-destruction - alcohol, tobacco, perversion (just watch the content of the TV programs). They threw in a cult of excessive consumption, where the value is not made up of overworked hands, but the brand and price of body kits.
I'm 39. Watching today's youth, who have been specially planted with unisex clothes (poor cocks, like beetle shells, tight-fitting pants with a sagging heel point), the cult of the virtual world - (social networks, games … a complete break with reality), perversions, drugs, poisons, etc.
I actually ran into these young people (through my daughter). Such unisex "men" do not keep their word and this is considered the norm in their circle of communication, the predominance of parasitic words, they must smoke (this is a sign of adulthood), the cult of consumption (the presence of an expensive phone, car, clothes and money, the possibility of night hangouts in clubs) … here are their values.
I also have many friends who did not live to be 30 years old. The city, the modern technosphere with its consumer cult, is cultivated in the overwhelming majority of carriers of the animal structure of the psyche, animals lowered below (the presence of programs for self-destruction) and zombie bio-robots.
Where would grandfathers come with with their hands-worn hands? After all, it is the grandfathers, as well as the grandmothers, who are the very thread that connects the knowledge accumulated by previous generations. Having broken this thread, a kind of formatting takes place, where you can write any worldview from scratch …..
This is all the result of focused work on all six priorities of generic controls!
