Bringing up a kid is no child’s play. But if you want your offsprings to grow up happier, get your mom and dad to raise them, for a study has revealed that children grow up happier under care of grandparents.
Researchers in Britain have found that grandparents can help young children because they often have more time to spend with them than working parents, and they are also good at solving their problems and discussing their future plans.
In addition, grandparents can help keep children calm during crises such as their parents’ divorce, the study found.
The researchers from Oxford University and Institute of Education, London, came to the conclusion after analysing a survey of 1,500 kids in Britain, The Daily Telegraph reported.
"What was especially interesting was the link between involved grandparents and adolescent well-being. Closeness was not enough: only grandparents who got stuck had this positive impact on their grandchildren," lead researcher Ann Buchanan of Oxford University was quoted as saying.
