Question

I want to honor my grandfather, who passed away early this year. I really miss him, as I was very close to him. How can I?

Community Answer

Do activities you did with him. Like, go fishing if you used to fish with him. Maybe even pray at night and talk to him.

Question

How do I make my grandparent happy if they're busy?

If they're too busy to spend time with you right now, maybe you could make them a nice card and just tell them how much they mean to you.

Question

Why would someone want to look after a grandparent?

Community Answer

Grandparents are older than you are, so they may need help doing things that require bending over and using lots of strength.

Question

How can I entertain my grandparents?

Community Answer

You could play cards, or chess, or badminton, whatever they like to do. Grandparents also like cheesy jokes, so bring over a joke book if you have one.

Question

What gifts do grandparents like?

Community Answer

Honestly, it really depends on your grandparents' taste. Look around their house. Do they collect anything? That might give you an idea. You could also try making something handmade and crafted by you, as your grandparents will be touched that you made the effort.

Question

I’m a senior in high school and have been living with my Asian grandfather ever since my grandmother died. He thinks I’m disrespectful and I want to express boundaries to him. Is there any way to do this?

Community Answer

You could help around the house to show him you are helpful. You could also make him his favorite sweet treats to show him how much you love him and make his favorite meal now and then. In terms of expressing boundaries, ask him to explain to you why he calls your disrespectful, then talk to him about how times have changed and explain what respect means nowadays.
