Reproducing is the primary and sweetest task that Nature has assigned to human beings.. Perpetuate ourselves in our children, raise them and watch them grow, and that they in turn do it with theirs, It is perhaps the most difficult but the most rewarding of experiences.. And to understand it, commonly used words like paternity or motherhood are enough., but could we talk about grandma? because today, more than ever, grandparents have an indisputable social role.
From the fortunate incorporation of women into the world of work and the consequent need to reconcile work and family, grandparents and retirees have stopped being passive citizens to be productive protagonists and primary support within the family nucleus.

In this way then, grandfathers and grandmothers, lovingly and selflessly, They contribute from experience their collaboration in the care and co-education of many of our minors., both during the school period and during the holiday period. So that's grandma, that offers a double aspect. On the one hand, this dedication allows the elderly to stay active and healthy by having a goal that makes them feel useful., update your modus vivendi and relate to others who, like them, they share grandchildren and experiences.

It is also an undeniable and necessary generational exchange: grandparents can – and should- pass the baton of references, games, songs and way of life that, far from being old, They are a precious vital legacy that is part of the uses and customs of our society..

And on the other hand, Grandchildren can motivate grandparents to integrate into the world of new technologies, so that the digital divide does not reduce their integration capabilities in the global world in which we are immersed.

From this mutual dedication, extraordinarily positive emotional ties are established between both generations.. There are grandparents who even say they feel rejuvenated. However, All of this does not prevent giving up the space that each group belongs to and parents must be extremely careful not to overload grandparents with obligations regarding the care and custody of minors., which would be equivalent to tiring them excessively, perhaps putting their health at risk or depriving them of hobbies and friendships., because they are the parents, like grandparents were in their time, those ultimately responsible for their children.

As far as I'm concerned, since grandma, I thank life for the joy of innocence and the return to learning without the prejudices of childhood, the immense satisfaction that comes with the kisses and hugs of my grandchildren, all that sum of feelings that the adventure of living entails. Because, as our brilliant Lope de Vega confirmed,: “This is love, "Whoever tried it knows it.".
