How to treat your parents

Some time ago I read an article in which a son took his father, who was in his fifties, to start working out in order to give him a better old age, and together the two of them got rid of their beer bellies and revealed their abs. I heartily applaud the son.

How to treat your parents? Some people say that parents have given their whole life for this family, and we should honor our parents. But how to honor your parents? Some people say, spend more time with them, this is certainly good. But I don't think that's enough. Let parents spend a healthy and meaningful old age, is what we do children should do.

First of all, regular medical checkups for your parents. Don't avoid medical treatment. There are diseases timely treatment. Many old people are found cancer when it is already a serious late stage. In fact, cancer is not scary, the scary thing is the late stage of cancer. Regular medical checkups, the big disease into a small, small disease into nothing.

Secondly, according to the actual situation, let the parents to regular exercise. Life is all about exercise. There are many kinds of sports, some old people like square dancing, some old people like walking, some old people like playing Tai Chi, some old people like riding. Let their own hobbies develop fully. Let them enjoy their old age. No interest in the development of interest. Just like parents enrolling their children in interest classes when they were young. Some old people's physical conditions do not allow, or do not like to move, then the development of some relatively static hobbies, such as participating in the elderly club, playing chess, writing calligraphy, painting and so on. Do not let the time wasted, so that their old age life glows and shines.

Once again, to the parents of the law, so that parents have the ability to distinguish, to avoid falling into the trap of the bad guys. Now there are some black sheep in society, specifically targeting the elderly to cheat the elderly money, they have seized the elderly thirst for health, trying to sell the so-called health care products to the elderly, bragging about the effect of the magic, plus a few children, the cost of dozens of dollars of the product, sold to thousands of dollars at every turn, or even tens of thousands of dollars. Some people even directly hit up the old man's pocket money, with high returns and low risk to lure the elderly for the so-called "investment", once the money into the pockets of the villains, such as the meat bag hit the dog a go no return. When the old man really repent, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands have been cheated away. Only the old man is left in a withered state. The spirit of the blow is often more terrible than the physical blow.

Finally, let parents change bad habits. Some people say that the habits they have developed over their lifetime, how can they say they can change them? It is true that it is difficult to change, but it must be changed, the question is how to change. For example, smoking, alcoholism. These habits are very harmful to the body. Spiritually, mentally and physically, make him fully aware of the seriousness of the problem. Change their focus and develop other hobbies. Let him go to some non-smoking places to exercise more and spend more time with non-smoking people. Lead step by step in a gradual manner and change little by little.

We should treat our parents as we would have treated them as children. The older they get, the more they act like children, and the more willful they are. We can't "spoil" them, can't "pamper" them in everything. We must teach them what they can and cannot do. The parents are guided to do the right thing, so that they can "grow up" healthily.

A good word is like a hive: it sweetens the heart and heals the bones.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Prov 16:24

Mt 15:4 And God said, Honor thy father and thy mother. And he said, He that curseth his father or his mother shall be put to death.

For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'
