Who says grandparents and parents are the only family figures that matter to children?

At this time when we remember how important the family is to us, it is necessary to underline the fundamental role that aunts play in the lives of their nephews and nieces.

Children have parents to love them obviously, but also to educate them and teach them values.

For their part, aunts are like second mothers. They know how to be there when their nephews and nieces need it.

Also, the relationship that an aunt can forge with her nephew or niece can be very complicit.

And, what's great is that when their mom needs a bit of a breather, a loving auntie will always be there to have a good time with her nephew and niece.

Why are aunts so important?

There are so many reasons why the role of an aunt in the life of her nephew or niece is irreplaceable.

Here are the most important ones for me:

1. Aunts help educate children. Regardless of the age of their nephews and nieces, they play a big role in their various learning experiences. For the little ones, these include words, colors, animals and a whole lot more.

2. They love to spoil their nieces and nephews. It doesn't matter whether it's their only nephew / niece or whether they have several, Aunty women love to show them how much their affection for them is and often shower them with gifts.

3. Aunts are great confidants. As children grow up, they may sometimes hesitate to discuss certain topics with their parents. They do know, however, that they can always turn to their auntie, who can provide solid and benevolent advice.

4. They are like private shrinks. Aunts who know their nieces and nephews so well that they know how to recognize when they are sad or something is wrong. Nothing better than the shoulder of his aunt to cry a lot and feel better.

5. Aunts know how to teach our children true values. As parents, we can sometimes get caught up in everyday life without taking enough time to talk to them. Fortunately, in these cases, the Tatas take over to remind their nephews and nieces what is right and wrong to do in life, what really matters.

6. They are always up for taking care of them. When parents have work or have an emergency without knowing who to trust their children to, grandparents are not the only solution! They can also turn to the super aunty who will undoubtedly have fun with them, away from mum and dad eyes.

7. Even the punishments given by the tatas are nicer. Sometimes aunts also have to exercise authority over a temperamental or silly child. But the good thing is that even when they are rife, they know how to make the kids get something positive and learn from their mistakes.

8. Tatas always take time for homework help. If their nephew or niece is struggling to move on with their homework or revise their lesson before a checkup at school, their aunt will always be there to support them.

Why is it great to be an auntie?

Being an aunt is a real blessing! Still, it's great to have all the good sides of a child, without the more "complicated" ones that parents have on a daily basis, right ?! ;-)

Nephews and nieces, this is a precious gift!

They make every moment by their side a moment of shared laughter and innocence. Frankly, what more could you ask for ?!

1. You always have fun with them. Being with children means being able to play games - sometimes regressive - so funny that you will never get tired of them.

2. You are experiencing the birth of a baby. Being able to meet your nephew or niece for the first time is such a unique feeling that it is literally magical. From the first glance, you won't be able to help but love and spoil him / her.

3. You always have someone to hug. No doubt they will be able to give them back to you because, with you, they are less shy than with others and always so adorable.

4. You experience a very special love. Watching them grow and flourish, knowing that you are there for them (and that they love your food so much) is a unique gift.

5. Your nephews and nieces allow you to get away from your stressful day-to-day life. After a hard day at work, dealing with a bunch of not funny things, spending time watching or playing with your nephews will immediately calm you down.

6. You are their official supplier of cakes and chocolate. Eh yes ! Children know you well, and know that you are THE best person to have all those good things (in moderation) that their parents normally refuse to give them. But shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ;-)

7. You know how to fully appreciate their birthday snacks. When your nephew celebrates his birthday or any other special occasion, you know it will be a great time to share with him and the rest of the family.

8. You always have a good reason to give them gifts. Ah, but that funny toy or that cute little kitten, why not give it to her ?! Obviously, you know that children will love this kind of surprise and that you will always find an excuse to give their parents for the still spoiled assets.

9. Your nephews and nieces can always count on you. No matter what hardship they endure, you will be there. Always. And they know it. This bond of trust is so essential.

10. You sleep like a baby after playing with them. When you spend a whole day with your nephews and nieces, a good sleep is definitely restorative: believe me!

As aunts, we have a vital role to play with the children

You will understand, an aunt is very important for the development of his nephew or niece.

Spending time with them not only helps to strengthen family ties: it also and above all helps to create a unique bond between you and the children, a bond for life.

This complicity will nourish them throughout their existence and will help make them fulfilled beings.

So, take advantage of your privileged status and know how to appreciate every minute spent with your nephews and nieces: everyone will come out a winner!

Your turn...
