The Purpose of Grandparents.
Children of all ages thrive in an environment where they are nurtured and loved. They learn more when those closest to them take an active part in their lives.
Over the past 20 years, increased attention has been given to the importance of grandparenthood. This newfound emphasis on grandparenthood is a reflection of the increased life span, adults are living longer and four and five generation families are more common. It’s also a reflection of the importance of grandparents to grandchildren.
Grandparents influence their grandchildren directly, by daily, face to face, interaction and indirectly by interacting through phone calls and letters, when distance separates you. “Being there” is a concept that can mean physically being present or emotionally being present.
When you make phone calls, attend concerts or take them places you are directly influencing your grandchildren.

Family Relationships.
Family members can be related to one another by birth, marriage or through adoption. When couples adopt a child, the child becomes a member of their family. Brothers and sisters who share the same parents are siblings. Half brothers and half sisters share either the same biological mother or biological father. When divorced or widowed parents remarry, the parent’s new spouse becomes the children’s stepfather or stepmother. Children from the couple’s previous marriages become stepbrothers and stepsisters to one another.
When people marry, they gain a new set of relatives called in laws. The mother of a person’s spouse is called a mother in law the brother is called a brother in law and so forth.
The parents of a person’s mother or father are that person’s grandparents. Great grandparents are the parents of a person’s grandparents. An aunt is the sister of a person’s mother or father. An uncle is the brother of a parent. An uncle’s wife is also called aunt and an aunt’s husband is also called uncle. A first cousin is the child of a person’s aunt or uncle. The child of a first cousin is a person’s first cousin, removed by one generation. Children of first cousins are second cousins to each other.
Some people consider certain friends as part of their family because they feel special affection for them. Although these friends are not true family members, family members might call them aunts or uncles. Relatives or close friends of a parent may become godparents to that parent’s children. Godparents, as sponsors to a Christian baptism, often play more vital roles in the lives of families by providing advice, emotional support and assistance in times of need.
