| Abstract |
Based on conversative views of grandparents, grandparents are individuals who have gray hair, weak, wearing glasses and sitting on a rocking chair. Nevertheless, advances in health and socio-economic conditions have led to healthy, highly educated, still working and active seniors. Statistics show men and women spend longer time as grandparents (25years) compared to being parents with responsibilities to children (18 years). Research indicates there are substantial benefits to children interacting with grandparents. This slide presentation discuss about style of grandparenting today. |
