Dear student 

The following question tests your creativity and should be attempted on your own. However here are a few useful hints. 

- In today's urban setting, we find that nuclear families are more common than joint families. 
- This forces the elderly to live on their own, sometimes even in old age homes.
- As a consequence of this separation, grandchildren hardly ever meet their grandparents. 
- It is quite often the grandparents that pass down their wisdom and knowledge about the culture they live in. 
- Separated from their grandparents, grandchildren end up losing, not only their own family, but their own culture as well. 
- There are other factors, that force children to distance themselves from their grandparents.
- Today's generation of children consider the elderly to be boring. 
- They would rather spend their time watching TV and playing video games than listening to their grandparents. 
- Grandparents end up feeling defeated by the modern society they live in, and do not try to spend time with their grand children. 
- Parents must realise the amount of knowledge and wisdom that their own parents have to offer to the grandchildren. 
- For the good of their own children, parents must nurture the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. 


Regards
