WHY GRANDPARENTS ?- Family historians and the children learn about family's customs,

values, beliefs and attitudes. - Story tellers (glue that keeps the family together and contributes to the

family identity) - Mediators who help solving problems between the grandchild and parents.- Link to the other worlds for the grandchild that he/she will never witness

personally. - Playmates of the grandchildren.- Mentors who share skills, talents, provide advice and listen to their

grandchildren. - Role models who provide grandchildren with the examples of loyalty and

hard work.- Confidante of the grandchildren for their secrets which they feel too big to
