5 Point something: How we need to take care of our aged parents...

1. Do not let them be on their phone while walking on the stairs or in other mishap causing scenarios. They certainly took care to protect you from them when you were a child.

2. Be patient with them when they ask you about something that you have already explained in the past. Remember the number and times you asked questions when you were young?

3. Their ability to hear and see diminishes as they grow older. They will require you to speak louder and slower, just like they did with you when they were trying to maintain their calm with you.

4. Technology is advancing very fast. We need to keep them updated with it just like they kept us updated with the latest toys.

5. They are get bored like we did when we were kids. We need to spend more time with them and engage them in activities to keep their brain and body active.
