Grandparenting Research

Grandparenting research explores how grandparents influence their grandchildren’s development, well-being, and family dynamics. It examines factors such as emotional support, involvement levels, cultural practices, and intergenerational relationships. Studies aim to understand the benefits grandparents provide, like increased social connection and stability, as well as the challenges they may face. This research helps inform policies and family practices to foster healthy relationships across generations, recognizing grandparents as valuable and active members of family life who can significantly impact a child's growth and family cohesion.
