Why do we seek advice of the elderly in our family? Share your thoughts with your classmates and teacher.
We seek advice from elders because they have accumulated wisdom through years of experience and have faced various life situations.
Their guidance helps us make better decisions, avoid mistakes they may have made, and navigate challenges with greater understanding.
Elders offer perspectives that come from practical knowledge rather than just theoretical learning, making their advice valuable for real-life situations.
