Grandparenting Matters

Grandparenting Matters This page is for grandparents everywhere to learn about and comment on
research on intergenerational issues and comment on family dynamics.

This page is about the role of grandparents in the 21st century. Grandmothers no longer reside in rocking chairs; Granddads rarely smoke ci**rs and pontificate over a game of chess. How can the grandparents of today relate to their children and grandchildren in a world of technology, and what can research tell us about their value? The page moderator is Marlene A. Bumgarner, Ed.D., professor of early childhood education and a bona fide grandparent.
