Il nuovo aiuto per i genitori: i nonni

Gabriele Quinzi

This paper intends to explore, in a positive light, the important role of grandparents in the family context. Although, today, in the complex postmodern scenario, grandparents too have changed — as also the family model — their economic and educational contribution seems to be significant both for families and society as a whole. The task of family training will be to highlight their resource as «grandparents», especially in particular situations, and to activate as well as a serious and profound pedagogical reflection, formation programs to support the delicate and irreplaceable role of grandparents.
