As reported in the Melbourne Herald Sun today, a recent study of English and Welsh children aged 11 to 16, found that kids and teenagers who spend time with their grandparents have fewer behavioural problems. Researchers believe this may be because children saw their grandparents as a confidant and a source of comfort and support. This then enables less disruptive and hyperactive behaviour to occur. The study found they were also more likely to get along with their peers and they have a closer connection with their maternal grandmothers.
