Grandparents and Grandchildren
Nº148 MAY 2025
The relationships between grandparents and grandchildren is different from any other relationship anybody has ever had or will ever have. Due to their maturity and the time they usually have, grandparents often serve as support for parents, but they are much more than just that. They allow for access to the family's past and the intangible heritage that they pass down, helping to shape the development of their grandchildren. For both, they constitute new opportunities for love and affection; from an escape from routine to different views of the world.
What characterises the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren? What relational dynamics are established? What variables have been studied due to the impact they have on this relationship. And is there a way of making a global reading of this relationship, overcoming the contradictions in the many existing research projects? This work aims to explore different aspects of the research, culminating in a discussion of the advantages of a relational vision that may lead to a more complete understanding of this relationship.
