Elderly people in their old age need more or children and grandchildren to accompany them, rather than any gold and silver.
Many children are busy with their daily work, always have no time to go back to visit their parents, and some children always think that the elderly live in affluence, and do not need to visit, in fact, many elderly people live alone, or very lonely. The elderly do not have to go to work every day, often stay at home all day, bored and lonely, they look forward to the children can often come home to see. It is a great joy for the elderly when their children come home and they can sit down together for a meal and a chat. What they need is not for their children to pay money on time or to buy expensive gifts, but for their children to be with them.
There are also some children who send the elderly directly to the nursing home to save trouble and convenience, without consulting the real will of the elderly, which is actually not good for the elderly in their old age. How can they live happily when they have their own home but are sent to a nursing home? In a nursing home the elderly can't see their children very often and may be abused by the staff, which is not happy at all.
Many people spend most of their lives working for their children, and in their old age they still want to have a happy old age. As a child, you should know how to respect your parents' true thoughts, understand and sympathize with them, and add as much joy and fun as possible to their old age.
The first thing is to try to find time to go home more often, to understand the health of the elderly, and more and more of them to eat and chat, the elderly generally like to see the grandchildren, then you can let the children more to accompany the elderly, so that the elderly more happy. The second is to encourage the elderly to go out more to participate in some cultural and sports activities, such as dancing, chess, Tai Chi and so on, these activities not only can exercise, but also can communicate with other elderly people, will not be too lonely. Then there is as a son or daughter do not always against the wishes of the elderly and their fuss, try to communicate calmly, what problems should be discussed.
I hope that every old man can enjoy his old age and have a happy life.
