hi friends,everyone always have a good time with their grandparents.the fact is in this fast world we are busy world we don't spend much time with them.if you spend time with them no problem.don't ever leave them idle.they will start to think within them self and get more confusions in their mind.they mix up the present and the past stuffs.
three of my frnds experience this problem now.

This is such a good point, hitman_rulez... people spend time with their grandparents (or other elders) at the holidays and such but then, some of those same folks end up spending a lot of time alone, in seniors' homes or in their own homes. They need stimulation, interesting conversation, socialization, physical contact, just as much as we do! I know young people who say it's boring to visit the elderly because they tell the same stories over and over or they are afraid to visit them because they might have health problems that are a bit frightening. But, it takes so very little effort to brighten their day! A short visit, a phone call, a card in the mail. Any of these these will remind your grandparents how valuable they are to you. They need to know that they still matter! I don't have any grandparents of my own now, and my parents are also deceased already, so I like to "borrow" other people's family from time to time :)
