Abstract

Abstract Grandparent–grandchild relationships are complex because at least three generations are involved in forming, nurturing, and maintaining the relationship. Research conducted over the past 50 years has provided important insights into the demographic and personal characteristics of those involved in this relationship, about the behavioral and psychological dynamics occurring within the relationship, and the outcomes for grandparents, grandchildren, and the family as a result of engagement in the relationship.
