If you think, uncles are a just a brother of moms and dads, then think again. They too play an important roles in the lives of children. They are among the first adults children meet other than parents and grandparents. Here are some proofs why uncles are extremely influential and the best.

2) Uncles as Confidante

 

Some children are afraid to tell their parents some events in their life like a fight with their friends, or a secret date with their classmate. Or maybe they have a misunderstanding with their moms and dads and wants someone to vent it out. An uncle can be there as a confidante ready to give advice (and spill it out after to their brother and sister, huh!)

An uncle, specially older uncles, can tell stories about their parent when he or she was young. They can retell stories the parent has told, and laugh at matters that only the parent and their siblings recognize or remember. Because of them, children can learn many things about their parents while they were growing up.
