Grandparents Answer a Call

As

a

third

generation

native

of

Brownsville,

Texas,

Mildred Garza

never

pleased move

away,.

Even

when

her

daughter

and

son

asked

her

to

move

to

San

Antonio

to

help

with

their

children,

she

politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Gaf finally say yes. That was four years

ago. Today all three generations regard the move to a success, giving them a closer relationship than

they would have had in separate cities.

No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children

and

grandchildren.

Yet

there

is

evidence

suggesting

that

the

trend

is

growing.

Even

President

Obama

’

s mother- in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to

help care for her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents com. 83 percent of the people

said Mrs. Robinson

‘

s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe

more families will follow the example of Obama

’

s family.

“in the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’

t get away from home far enough or fast enough to

prove

we

could

do

it

on

our

own,

”

says

Christine

Crosby,

publisher

of

Grand,

a

magazine

for

grandparents .We

now

realize

how

important

family

is and

how

important

””

it

is

to

be

near

them,

especially when you

’

re raining children.

”

Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren

and

is

willing

to

make

sacrifices,

but

sometimes

it

is

wiser

to

say

no

and

visit

frequently

instead.

Having

your

grandchildren

far

away

is

hard,

especially

knowing

your

adult

child

is

struggling,

but

giving up the life you know may be harder.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be em

pty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,uneas

-iness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefo

)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for unde

Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just

as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these culture
