Four: Activities with grandparents
This chapter focuses on grandchildren who have regular face-to-face contact with grandparents and the importance they and their grandparents attach to the grandparent-grandchild relationship. It notes that the interviews seek to discover what happens when grandparents and grandchildren spend time together. It suggests that it is important in accounting for grandparenting diversity to discover whether grandparents’ main priorities are their adult children or their grandchildren — in other words, where they might be positioned on the adult-centred/child-centred continuum. It also notes that grandparents’ personal styles and their skills in relating to children are determinants of the quality of their relationships with grandchildren and ‘fun-seekers’ are invariably the most popular grandparents.
