GRANDPARENTS, THE PILLARS OF THE FAMILY

GRANDPARENTS, THE PILLARS OF THE FAMILY

Grandparents are a real pillar for children and an important ally for parents. They play an important role in the often animated life of a family. Grandparents are a source of stability, education and tenderness. They are an essential support for the parents and we fully trust them.

At a time when the number of mixed or single-parent families is constantly increasing, the role of grandparents is significant. They embody stability. They are often the ones who cherish the family memories (family photos, family home, etc.). They are the guardians of the family foundations and they are the ones who pass on fundamental values such as family, loyalty, respect, tradition, etc.

Grandparents can play the role of complementary educators. They are further away from our hectic pace of life and have the time and patience to take care of their grandchildren’s education. Their role is not to replace or contradict the parents but to support and accompany them.

The role of transmitting knowledge to the child is played by the grandparent. They are often the ones who teach particular skills to the youngest: fishing, cooking, knitting, gardening, etc. This type of activity allows for exchanges and discussions, the child is free to express himself and he develops his open-mindedness.

Finally, grandparents do not only give, they also receive a lot from their grandchildren: happiness, a feeling of usefulness, but also concrete learning. Grandparents who are in close relation with their grandchildren remain in contact with a generation and an era that are no longer their own. The role of the grandchildren is also to guide the grandparents in this new connected world.

Don’t forget to thank them!
If you have the opportunity to visit them, this is what will make them the happiest. Once there, organise an activity to strengthen your ties; go to an exhibition, go to the theatre, play a board game, cook a grandmother’s recipe, etc. Moreover, age does not reduce some people’s passion for gossip. Grandmothers love to know everything about every member of the family. Let them ask you hundreds of questions, talk about everything and anything… without moderation!

To make your visits to your grandparents even more lively, send them a Tribu album (www.mytribunews.com) every month! It allows you to put pictures to your stories, to remember them the next day and of course to be able to tell the stories of each (grand) child to all the other family members.

If you can’t visit them, at least think about making a phone call from time to time. Or at best, send them a letter or a postcard. Old-fashioned, you might say? Good for you! Grandparents aren’t exactly known for being “fashionable”. And that’s why we love them so much.

WRITER’S BLOCK

by Tribu | 8 Nov 2023 | EN

WRITER’S BLOCK

Being the author or your family newspaper every month, you might experience what we sometimes call a ‘Writer’s block’. That’s okay, it happens to the best of us. Some people are overflowing with photos or ideas to complete their newspaper. Others sometimes struggle to complete 14 pages with interesting content because not much has happened that month. If you are lacking inspiration, here are some ideas to help you fill your Tribu newspaper. You’re welcome.

GAMES

We all know that grandparents enjoy puzzle games. If you know that your Grandma or Grandpa likes these kinds of games, you could add one or maybe several; so they don’t have to fight over it. List of potential games: wordsearch, crossword puzzle, number puzzle, Sudoku, Kemaru, Kakuro, Rikudo, anagrams …

???? Where to find ? Type on Google “Grid games” or find some websites such as Sudoku game (https://sudoku.game/hard), Crossword Puzzle, Kemaru, …

Tip ! Choose qualitative grids and large enough for the reader to complete the grid easily.

a joke a day keeps the doctor away

Why not crack a joke? A cool quiz about the family? A rebus? Riddles? Create your own soap and put a cliffhanger at the end, so they long for more every month (okay this might be pushing it, but you get the idea right?).

Tip ! Don’t give away the solution just yet. Put the solution in next month’s Tribu. This will keep everybody busy!

DID YOU KNOW ?

What is your reader passionate about? Try to find a “fun fact”, an unusual story, a news item that he/she doesn’t know yet. Describe it to him/her. He/she will probably be surprised to see that you are interested in his/her passion!

DAY-TO-DAY

Why not add photos of your daily life, from the picture of you half asleep, to a blurry picture of you chasing your kid? You don’t need a super-active life to immortalize those little moments that may seem trivial but can be a lot of fun to look at for a grandparent.

DRAWINGS

Children make drawings, a lot of them. Impossible for us parents to keep them all. But I bet your grandparents love looking at every one of them. Take a photo and immortalize them in your family newspaper (then throw them away – or just keep the very good ones).

it’s a cake

If you are lucky, you have someone in your family who loves baking. Maybe encourage them to share his/her recipes in your newspapers? We are not responsible for drooling marks on your newspapers.

whatever you do, just have fun !

HEIF FORMAT : TO KEEP OR TO CONVERT?

by Tribu | 8 Nov 2023 | EN

TRIBU, A COMPANY WITH VALUES

The High-Efficiency Image File format (HEIF) was developed in 2015 by the Moving Picture Experts Group. It allows an image or a sequence of images to be stored in a single file. Photos taken in this new format have a better quality. It is optimised to be as light as possible by storing images at twice the compression rate of JPEG images without reducing the level of detail of the photos.

There are many variants of the HEIF format. The HEIC format is one dedicated to Apple devices with the IOS 11 operating system or higher. It is simply a renaming to make files from an Apple device more easily identifiable.

Difference : JPEG – HEIF

The JPEG format is used worldwide and is widely used on the web because the file size is generally quite small. But what is the difference with HEIF?

Zooming: since HEIF image quality is much better, zooming will be much sharper than with JPEG (where at a certain point the picture becomes blurry).
Image style: HEIF can combine moving and still images (Live Photo, GIF). JPEG, on the other hand, can only produce still images.
Weight: as previously stated, on an identical shot, the HEIF format will be twice as light as the JPEG format.
Editing: you can edit your photos (rotate, crop, etc.) without degrading the quality, which is still a big problem with photos in JPEG format.
Protection: the HEIC format preserves multi-layer information such as transparency or depth of field, which is not possible with JPEG.

How to convert a HEIF format into a JPEG?

The HEIF format contains more information than JPEG but weighs less. However, if you want to share your HEIF images on the web, you will need to convert them to JPEG to ensure full support. On the Mac, it is quick to convert a HEIF format to JPEG using the Preview application. Go to the File tab > Export… Then select the JPEG format and save.

On the PC, there are several free online programs that can convert HEIC photos to JPEG. For example, the free online software Convertio works well but will slightly reduce the level of detail in the photos.

Few platforms are currently compatible with the HEIF format. Whatsapp, Messenger, Instagram automatically convert your photos to JPEG format, which leads to a loss of quality. If you want to share your photos without loss of quality, there are a few platforms that are compatible with this format, and we recommend one: Tribe. It will allow you to create a photo album without having to convert them all to JPEG. You can choose to receive the digital version of the album or the paper version. The best thing about this platform is that you can co-create the album with several family members. If you don’t know what to do with all your photos in HEIF format, go to the Tribu website to create your family album!

We advise you to keep the HEIF format to keep qualitative photos and then share them in a photo album to share with your family.
