Grandparents seem to have close relationships with their grandkids. In fact, most children feel closer to them than their own parents.

The explanation for that is no longer a mystery. Researchers were able to find the answers and every grandparent deserves to know more about them.

Grandparents love their grandchildren without expectations. They don’t ask for anything in return, too. They pour their hearts out for the kids, showering them with lots of hugs and even home-baked goodies.

Grandparents will always be there to witness their grandkids’ milestones. From the day they’re born to the day they celebrate their 18th birthday, they will be there to offer support and love. They know that they won’t be around forever so they try to teach the young ones to appreciate every moment.

At Grandma’s house, there will always be food to eat and a clean bed to sleep on. An umbrella will always be ready in case it rains. She will always have a set of clean clothes ready even if you visit without telling her first. Grandparents will always know what their grandkids need even without telling them.
