The bond between grandparents and grandchildren is one of the most special that exists. Beyond unconditional affection, their relationship is key to the emotional, social and cognitive development of children. In a world where family time can be reduced by the pace of modern life, fostering these bonds is more important than ever.
A CONNECTION BETWEEN GRANDPARENTS AND GRANDCHILDREN AT RISK
In today’s fast-paced society, with busy schedules and the increasing use of technology, the bond between grandparents and grandchildren can suffer. Lack of time to spend together, physical distance or even generational differences can hinder this relationship. However, this is essential for the emotional and social development of the youngest children.
THE IMPORTANCE OF STRENGTHENING INTERGENERATIONAL BONDING
Grandparents are an invaluable source of love, wisdom and emotional stability for their grandchildren. According to studies by Harvard University and the American Psychological Association, this relationship has multiple benefits:
- Emotional support: Grandparents offer unconditional security and affection that contribute to the child’s self-esteem and emotional well-being.
- Transmission of values: Through their stories and experiences, they instil fundamental principles such as respect, gratitude and perseverance.
- Cognitive stimulation: Games, stories and conversations with grandparents encourage the development of language, memory and creativity.
- Sense of identity and belonging: They connect children to their roots, helping them to understand their family and cultural history.
However, when this relationship is not nurtured, children can lose an important source of support and learning. It is essential to foster meeting spaces that reinforce this unique and nurturing connection.
CASVI VILLAVICIOSA AND ITS COMMITMENT TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GRANDPARENTS AND GRANDCHILDREN
Aware of the positive impact of this bond on child development, at Casvi Villaviciosa we encourage intergenerational contact and provide opportunities for grandparents and grandchildren to share special moments together.
Therefore, next Saturday, from 11:00 am, we will celebrate Grandparents’ Day in Casvi Villaviciosa, a tradition consolidated in our school since 1996. Thanks to this festive day, we have experienced unforgettable moments full of emotion and learning. A very special event in which we will be able to enjoy a show starring the Preschool pupils, in what will be their first creative and artistic experience. All of this will be accompanied by the tasting of a delicious “chocolate with churros” made in our kitchen by the school’s own staff.
In addition, the grandparents themselves have highlighted the importance of this event in their lives:
📢 “It’s a very nice day. It allows us to share special moments with our grandchildren and get to know their school world more closely.”
📢 “We love to see how they learn and how they enjoy these activities with us. It’s an enriching experience for both generations.”
📢 “This event strengthens our relationship with them, because we show them that we are present in their education and growth.”
You can find more testimonies in this video showing last year’s celebration.
