Q104273

In chapter 16, three different types of grandparent relationships are des**cr**ibed **, Remote relationships** in which grandparents don't see their grandchildren often. The second type is **compassionate relationships** in which grandparents have frequent grandparents have frequent contact and warm interactions with their grandchildren. the third and last is the **involved relationships** in which grandparents are directly involved in the everyday care of grandchildren or have close emotional ties with them. (Lifespan and development p.420). after learning this i realized that the type of relationship my brother and i have with my grandparents is the involved relationship. my grandparents live about 10-15 minutes away from my house i see them just about every day when they drop my brother off at my house and some weekends when we go to their house to have dinner for birthdays ,holidays or just because they wanted to invite us over. which is great because i believe my brother and i have a much closer relationship with our grandparents than others do, because we can always visit them and they are always checking up on us.My grandparents show a great sense **Generativity** (Lifespan and development p.414) because they mentor my brother and i and give us advise on different aspects of our lives.The best part is that we are no a **Burden** (lifespan and development p420) for them, they constantly invite my brother and i to their house because they love to spend time with us. I'm really glad that my grandparents have an **involved relationship** with my brother and i because spending time with them its fun. They are so full of **Creativity** (Lifespan and development p.408), for example for Christmas my brother and i go to their house and make homemade candy ,gingerbread cookies and even though it such simple thing, their creative ideas on designs of the cookies and what candies we should make makes the whole experience fun.
