The American Grandparents Association says there are 70 million grandparents in the United States, and more than a million people become first-time grandparents every year. Many grandparents even serve as the primary caregivers for their grandchildren.

The roles grandparents play in the lives of their children and grandchildren are significant.

Whenever grandparents are able to provide a sense of family identity, mentor their grandchildren’s education, and establish a more stable home environment, their grandchildren are able to lead healthier, more successful, and meaningful lives.
