Mangaluru: Present-day children follow an audio-visual method of learning. Our grandparents, who act as companions for toddlers in this busy life where both parents are working, play an important role. Toddlers imitate both the good and bad habits of their elders, said senior journalist and literature writer Raymond Dcunha Taccode at the Grandparents Day celebration at Vidya Jyothi School, Vamanjoor, Mangalore.
Raymond Dcunha Taccode was the motivational speaker and Chief Guest for the event.
