Grandparents Who Babysit Are Less Likely to Develop Alzheimer's...

By Timfly

There is a wide body of research that shows regular social interaction helps seniors stay mentally healthier. Many grandparents report increased levels of life satisfaction from minding grandchildren stemming from feeling needed and increased life purpose to more importantly giving and receiving love.

The study which was published by the journal of the North American Menopause Society followed 120 grandparents in Australia and found that those that babysat one day each week scored higher on a range of cognitive tests.

They did however find that too much babysitting led to poor results. Those that babysat for five days per week or more struggled with the tests, so before you call mom and dad to ask them to babysit more, remember it is everything in moderation

A wider body of research shows that regal interaction of any type with other human beings leads to a happier state of mind. Many grandparents who babysit once or a few times each week report increased levels of life satisfaction which is linked to the increased feeling of purpose and more importantly, the receiving of love.
