“Filial piety comes first!” Everyone has the obligation to support the elderly. This is a must as a child!
Although being an only child may be a little more stressful than others, it does not mean that you cannot support the elderly!
They should spend more time with the elderly. The elderly are generally quite lonely and hope that their children can accompany them, but they will understand their children. Their children are busy with work and they cannot cause trouble to them. This will cause depression for the elderly! We should try our best to change the thinking of the elderly and make them feel that they are not useless when they are old. They all hope that in the hearts of their children, they are not just people who cause trouble, but they can still share some things with their children! This way they will have a sense of existence instead of just enjoying their old age! It will only cause trouble.
More attention should be paid to the psychology of the elderly. At this time, the elderly can no longer be as crazy as when they were young. Their minds will think about their past and miss the past days, which they cannot forget for a long time! At this time, you can take the elderly to travel and experience new things, so that they will not be obsessed with the past. Their main psychology is to hope that their children can pay more attention to them so that they will not be lonely! I hope I won’t be forgotten by my children!
Find something for the elderly to do to pass the time, so that the elderly have a sense of existence! Make them feel like they are still needed! This way the elderly will be happier! Aren’t there a lot of square dances now? You can dance with the elderly, play Tai Chi with them, play chess with them, go shopping, etc... In short, don't leave the elderly alone with nothing to do! Then they will think they are a burden!
Although you are very busy at work, you must remember that your family is still waiting! Even if you can't go home, calling the elderly at home and chatting for a while can make the elderly feel that they are not alone and that they are remembered by others.
