Health benefits of grandparent-grandchild bonds

Grandparents can improve mental health, well-being, and family bonds by providing emotional support, fostering a sense of belonging, and reducing behavioral issues. According to Aldendebes, grandparents also offer guidance and wisdom, unique life perspectives and practical advice. Close relationships with grandparents can also lead to better nutritional outcomes.

According to Forever Families, interacting with grandchildren can improve mental health, increase longevity, increase physical activity, enhance social engagement, reduce isolation, and reduce cognitive decline. Grandparents who provide occasional care for their grandchildren may live longer, stay more physically active, and maintain a stronger immune system.

Engaging in activities with grandchildren can also motivate healthier lifestyles, as their desire to be part of their grandchildren's lives longer motivates them to adopt healthier habits.
