  How to care for your Parents.

  1.Communication 
 Communication is one of the most important aspects of the parental relationship, and severally being described as the live wire of relationships. It is during communication that we tell them “I love you Dad” and “I love you mum.” Whether you are engaged 24 hours a day, or 7 days a week, you have got to get hold of everyday or some particular days of the week and reach out to them. A phone call on your way to work or on your way back from work will not hurt you, but it rather shows your parents that you care about them. Lunch time for most workplaces is 30 to 60 minutes, and is just the right time to reach out to your parents and know how they are faring. Choosing a particular day during the weekends and making it a priority will eventually become a habit. Allowing your spouse or kids to remind you phone grannies’ will make the process easier. Also consider putting up a calendar reminder or alarm clocks on specific days in your phone to help you remember. Additionally, Christmas, thanksgiving and national holidays are some of the fantastic days to show them you genuinely love and care for them.
2. Warfare
Loving and taking care of a parent’s warfare is very vital for their survival. Some parents may be financially sufficient to foot their own bills or others can have financial benefits that are adequate for their survival. However, parents will always say that the greatest gift that ever received comes from their children. Regardless of being poor or rich, the act of giving is a way of expressing love to parents. Their marriage anniversaries and birthdays are special occasions you can connect with them by sending warfare packages to them. Further support may be in the form of improving their overall standard of living via support workers, gardeners, cleaners and carers to help them out.

3. Health
Some countries have a National Health Service that caters for the elderly, and in a number of nations your finances will determine the quality of health that you can afford. Consequently, you have to make yourself available to know about the health condition of your aged parents that may be having one health challenge or the other. There is no doubt whatsoever that most of them will be on medication and relying on an alarm clock to take their routine medication. However, your expression of interest in their health from time to time will gladden their heart and make their day. The joy they will derive from your concerns especially when you ask questions like “have you taken your medication today”, “Ok just let me know when you run out of them so I can get supplies in time” will know no bound.
