Why grandparents matter in our lives

According to PubMed Central, grandparents today play a big role in their grandchildren’s lives, partly because people are living much longer than before. This means many grandparents get to spend time with their grandkids, not just when they’re small, but also as they grow into teenagers and adults.

Studies show that grandparents often help look after young children and, as the kids get older, they become trusted supporters and mentors. The relationship changes with time, but in many families, the bond only gets stronger. Having close ties between grandparents, parents, and children creates a supportive family environment where people can talk openly and learn from each other.
