La literatura científica constata que el ocio intergeneracional reporta múltiples beneficios, en concreto, a los más mayores, a quienes proporciona vitalidad, motivación, bienestar emocional e ilusión, lo que apunta a que estas experiencias poseen el potencial de incrementar los niveles de satisfacción en el colectivo de personas mayores. El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar la satisfacción percibida por los abuelos con el ocio que comparten con sus nietos adolescentes, y vincularla con la tipología de actividades. Se utilizó un cuestionario ad hoc administrado a 91 abuelos, y se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo y un análisis inferencial de los datos. El nivel de satisfacción transmitido con respecto al ocio compartido es, en general, muy elevado, pues la práctica totalidad de los abuelos presenta un alto grado de satisfacción con el ocio que comparten con sus nietos adolescentes, siendo muy escasas las diferencias en la satisfacción en función de las distintas actividades de ocio. Existen algunas diferencias sobre la forma en la que les gustaría compartir ocio en un futuro con los adolescentes. En general, quienes comparten ocio cultural estarían más dispuestos a cambiar la forma en la que comparten el ocio con sus nietos, pues se sienten menos satisfechos con el disfrute del ocio mediante entornos culturales. Sin embargo, escuchar música se descuelga de las actividades culturales al relacionarse con una satisfacción significativamente superior. Destacan tres actividades culturales (escuchar música, ir al cine y a museos, galerías y exposiciones) por asociarse con una mayor disposición a seguir practicando ocio junto a sus nietos tal y como lo vienen haciendo. Por otro lado, en general, los abuelos que comparten experiencias ambientales y ecológicas, así como actividades festivas y celebraciones, manifiestan claramente una mayor disposición a repetir la forma en la que compartirían su ocio en el futuro que quienes no comparten este tipo de actividades, especialmente a la hora de viajar, ir de excursión, cuidar plantas, salir a tomar algo e ir a fiestas tradicionales. Las conclusiones de este estudio ayudan a la comprensión de la etapa previa a la juventud, ofreciendo claves susceptibles de optimizar el bienestar personal e intergeneracional. Se discute si la excepcionalidad de la situación que sobrevino por el COVID-19, ha provocado alteraciones importantes en la relación abuelos-nietos, con la consiguiente necesidad de continuar esta línea de investigación.

The coronavirus disease-19 pandemic and the accompanying public health restrictions have posed significant challenges to parents with dependent children. A rich body of literature has examined the problems encountered by parents and their gendered division of labour in childcare during the pandemic. However, little attention has been paid to their interactions and collaborations with extended family for childcare. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 43 urban parents in Shenzhen, China, I examine how parents mobilised childcare support from extended family during the pandemic, focusing on their collaboration with grandparents. Viewing parenting as a series of interactive and relational practices, I analyse how parents made new childcare arrangements and sought support from extended family to cope with work–childcare conflict and their ambivalence towards family collaboration in childcare during the pandemic. My findings highlight the significance of extended family collaboration for parents to overcome childcare challenges and reveal the embeddedness and relationality of parenting during the coronavirus disease-19 pandemic within extended family.

This study focuses on the critical role of grandparents in Spain's contemporary family structure, particularly in the Canary Islands, and their impact on grandchildren's education and development. Through a systematic literature review, including the analysis of 16 relevant articles, the multifaceted contributions of grandparents, from caregiving to education, are explored, highlighting the positive impact of intergenerational interactions on children's value and skill development. Moreover, the significance of intergenerational projects involving grandparents and grandchildren in educational and community activities is emphasized to enrich educational experiences and strengthen family bonds. Framed within the studies of the University Chair on Life Cycles and Elderly People at the University of La Laguna, this work underscores the need to recognize and support grandparents' role in educating future generations amidst a lack of previous research in the Spanish context and the constant evolution of family dynamics.

Leisure activities shared by grandparents and grandchildren provide important benefits. The health and humanitarian crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has made it necessary to use digital tools to alleviate the lack of contact between adults and children. This paper had as its aim to identify the digital leisure shared by grandparents and their pre-adolescent grandchildren (10-12 years old) before and during the pandemic, as well as its contribution to intergenerational well-being from a holistic paradigm, ultimately aiming to determine whether that digital leisure constitutes an experience of human development for young and old people alike. The sample was made up of 153 grandparents of 10-to-12-year-old children living in the north of Spain. Alongside the use of an ad hoc questionnaire, descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out. Most intergenerational leisure activities ceased to be performed during the lockdown, except for those that could be carried out remotely, thanks to information and communication technologies, which ensured the continuity of social and family interactions. Technological connectivity between generations provided greater support to communication and meaningful relationships, additionally facilitating active aging processes.

Objetivo: identificar el perfil y la intensidad del cuidado que realizan los abuelos de sus nietos. Método: estudio descriptivo, transversal, con muestreo aleatorio sistemático, mediante cuestionario semiestructurado y análisis descriptivo exploratorio. Realizado en el municipio del Triángulo Minero - Brasil, 2019. Resultados: se entrevistó a 392 abuelos que cuidaban a sus nietos, la mayoría eran mujeres (87,5 %), jubiladas (67,3 %), con primaria incompleta (52,8 %), hipertensión (71,9 %) y problemas visuales (69,4 %). La principal razón para que cuiden de ellos era que los padres trabajaban y la intensidad del cuidado de los nietos era intensiva. Conclusión: se considera que la relación de cuidado entre abuelos y nietos es un aspecto invisible en la producción científica y en la estructuración de programas de salud, a pesar de los impactos que tiene en la condición de salud de los adultos mayores. El estudio amplía la visión sobre los mismos dado que es necesario dilucidar este tema para que puedan ser efectivamente integrados y fortalecer las políticas públicas y sociales, especialmente en el sector salud, dado que se trata de un fenómeno emergente.

This study explores the association between grandparent caregiving by Chinese-American older adults and their perception of filial care and respect (i.e. filial piety) received from their adult children. Drawing on arguments regarding norms of altruism and reciprocity based on social exchange theory in the context of intergenerational relationships, this study examines whether more active engagement in grandparenting results in higher levels of filial piety among adult children and whether that in turn results in better well-being through reducing loneliness. It uses data from Population Study of Chinese Elderly in Chicago, a survey of the well-being of Chinese-American older adults in Chicago. The results show that more hours of grandparent caregiving relate to higher amounts of filial piety in the view of older parents. However, more pressure to take care of a grandchild from adult children reduces perceived filial piety. Furthermore, grandparent caregiving can reduce loneliness among older adults, and receipt of filial piety mediates the association. Discussion focuses on how grandparent caregiving can strengthen intergenerational relationships while contributing to psychological well-being among older Chinese-American adults. This research contributes to the discussion of normative aspects of the intergenerational solidarity theory and holds policy implications for the promotion of well-being among Chinese-American older adults based on their grandparenting practices.

En los últimos tiempos, la sociedad ha experimentado cambios, que ha llevado a analizar en profundidad las relaciones familiares, siendo la relación entre abuelos/as y nietos/as, la que ha causado mayor interés para los/as investigadores/as en las últimas décadas por la trascendencia que tienen los/as abuelos/as en la vida de sus nietos/as, creándose entre ellos/as una relación especial que no se establece con ningún otro miembro de la unidad familiar. La familia puede ser entendida como un conjunto o sistema estructurado, entre ellos existen lazos y relaciones afectivas, compartiendo metas, objetivos y proyectos comunes, creando una unidad que permite el reparto de funciones y responsabilidades entre sus miembros, por lo que un cambio en una de las partes repercute en las demás, y a consecuencia, de los cambios sufridos en la sociedad, los/as abuelos/as han adquirido una gran importancia en las relaciones familiares, concretamente en la relación con sus nietos/as. Con el fin de conocer las relaciones familiares especialmente entre abuelos/as y nietos/as, las dificultades de dicha relación ante situaciones de ruptura familiar, los derechos que ostentan los/as abuelos/as frente a sus nietos/as, y del conocimientosobre los/as abuelos/as de los recursos existentes en materia de familias. Se ha llevado a cabo un estudio con diseño cualitativo fenomenológico a través de cuestionario en muestra de 46 participantes, abuelos/as de Gran Canaria, con edades comprendidas entre los 58 y 85 años un 67% mujeres, y relación con hijo/as muy buena en el 54.3%, buena 34.7% y regular 10.8%. Se concluye que la principal dificultad para mantener una óptima relación entre abuelos/as y nietos/s está la separación/divorcio de sus hijos/as, por lo que se recurre en muchas ocasiones a la vía judicial.

The current family circle, forced to get adapted continually to the surrounding social structure, faces numerous social and family situations. This situation makes families broaden their networks of support and include hence grandparents as caregivers and even supplementary educators for their grandchildren. Such involvement of grandparents is generally considered a source of positive feelings. However, it cannot be ignored its potential incompatibility with the expected rest and enjoyment of their current life stage. In that regard, and given the wide range of individual circumstances of contemporary grandparents, this research aims to get to know these circumstances and delve into the satisfaction with them. To this effect, an ex post facto study has been carried out with a sample of 350 grandparents, using an instrument of our own elaboration. Results show that most of the participants have a personal situation that eases the assumption of such tasks, and with which they are highly satisfied. Being relatively young, not working outside the home, being healthy enough to accomplish their everyday activities, or having time for themselves are some of thefactorsthat provesuch wellbeing in thesampleanalyzed. Nonetheless, mention should be madeto the other part of the sample, sharing a more negative vision of their reality and arising hence the inescapable necessity to support and guide these grandparents at a social and educational level.

El año 2020 fue excepcional en términos de incertidumbre y aislamiento para todos, pero ha sido aún más difícil para las personas mayores. En una sociedad que tiende a idealizar la juventud e infravalorar la tercera edad, la irrupción de una enfermedad que afectó especialmente a los más mayores los apartó aún más, precisamente como mecanismo de protección. De acuerdo con Cherian:Los ancianos son propensos al aislamiento social incluso en circunstancias normales, y este problema se ha ampliado aún más en el clima actual (….) Tristemente, es un símbolo de los tiempos que no visitar a parientes mayores con la intención de no exponerles a la infección se haya convertido en una muestra de amor. Ni que decir tiene que la falta de interacción social puede precipitar o empeorar el estado de ánimo y los problemas de ansiedad en los ancianos (2020).Por eso decidí poner en marcha un proyecto en el grado de Educación Primaria Bilingüe para que los estudiantes enseñaran inglés (aspectos lingüísticos y/o culturales) a una persona de más de 65 años de su entorno utilizando llamadas, video conferencias, mensajes de WhatsApp…. El resultado fue un aumento en el tiempo que los chicos pasaron con sus mayores, aprendiendo vocabulario, pronunciación, situando ciudades en mapas…, a la vez que aumentaba su autoestima, estimulaban su creatividad y afianzaban sus enlaces afectivos (Ortiz J, Castro M, 2009). Después, algunas de estas experiencias fueron reflejadas en un perfil de Instagram creado para el proyecto llamado “teaching_my_grandparents”, lo que dio lugar a la reflexión de cómo las redes sociales pueden y deben ofrecer visibilidad a todas las generaciones.

El presente artículo de investigación explora los cambios y permanencias en las concepciones de infancia que emergen de los relatos biográfico-narrativos de abuelos, padres y nietos de diez tríadas intergeneracionales originarias del municipio antioqueño de El Carmen de Viboral, cuyas vidas transcurren entre la segunda mitad del siglo xx y las primeras dos décadas del siglo xxi. Los datos se produjeron mediante una combinación de entrevista narrativa y entrevista episódica; para el caso de los nietos entre los cinco y seis años se utilizó la conversación en un escenario de juego con la participación de las madres. Se empleó análisis de generaciones. Los hallazgos muestran el predominio de la infancia como experiencia, como espacio y temporalidad; asimismo, revelan tensiones entre la concepción de infancia moderna como etapa de desarrollo y el avance hacia la instalación de una concepción de infancia como sujeto de derechos que diezma el ejercicio del poder por parte de los adultos basado en el castigo y en el temor y que empodera a los niños y jóvenes como sujetos de saber.

Objective: The role of older people in today's society is important in supporting work-life balance and well-being. The aim of the study was to analyze the perception of the support they receive and the psychosocial well-being of people over 60years of age who take care of their grandchildren., Methodology: Cross-sectional descriptive observational study. A sample of people over 60years of age, who attended the pediatrics service in three health centers accompanying their grandchildren, during the first four-month period of 2018. They were administered the Duke-UNC questionnaire, with measures of social support and involvement in the care of their grandchildren., Results: The majority cared for their grandchildren between 5 and 14hours per week, performing recreational and maintenance activities. The participants reported a significant relationship of the caregiver's role in their quality of life and well-being; 88% of the subjects perceived a high level of social support. Involvement in weekly caregiving hours did not correlate with worse perceived support., Conclusions: Older adults who care for their grandchildren and attend the primary care pediatrics service with them perceive an adequate level of social support, regardless of the number of hours spent doing so., (Copyright © 2024 SEGG.

Las familias de la actualidad se desenvuelven en escenarios de múltiples interacciones intergeneracionales, es decir, vinculaciones entre sujeto/as que pertenecen a generaciones diversas (Dabove, 2008), dentro de las cuales se destacan en este trabajo las que se entablan entre nieto/as y abuelo/as, así como también, entre bisnieto/as y bisabuelo/as (Chechile-Herrera, 2012). Las relaciones intrafamiliares entre lo/as sujeto/as que integran esas generaciones reciben su debida protección en el complejo jurídico, a través de respuestas inspiradas en la protección de la “persona”, en particular, mediante un especial resguardo de los derechos de lo/as nieto/as o bisnieto/as que son niños, niñas y adolescentes (Fernández, 2015)), y abuelo/as o bisabuelo/as que son personas mayores (Dabove, 2018). El Código Civil y Comercial refleja en sus diversas captaciones la protección de las relaciones intergeneracionales entre nieto/as y abuelo/as, así como entre bisnieto/as y bisabuelo/as, integrándose al sistema jurídico en consonancia con las exigencias que devienen de los estándares internacionales y constitucionales en la materia. De allí que el presente trabajo tiene como propósito mostrar que la trascendencia que se asigna a dichas interacciones se desprende del análisis de diversos institutos incorporados al Código Civil y Comercial a partir del impacto del Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos, así como de la “re-interpretación” de figuras tradicionalmente receptadas por el mundo jurídico. Por tanto, la temática se aborda desde una lectura transversal de distintas instituciones del Derecho de Familias que demuestran lo antedicho.

Introducción: Según el informe de: “Envejecimiento demográfico. Colombia 1951-2020 dinámica demográfica y estructuras poblacionales”, el grupo poblacional de personas mayores de 60 años es mayor que otros grupos poblacionales; este hecho plantea grandes retos para el profesional de enfermería que debe prepararse y contribuir para satisfacer las diferentes necesidades de salud de los adultos mayores, más aún si se tiene en cuenta que ellos se convierten en cuidadores de sus nietos de manera voluntaria o por compromiso, debido a los cambios en la estructura familiar dada por divorcios, migración, madres solteras, ingreso de la mujer a la vida educativa y laboral, entre otros, que han originado cambios en los roles familiares. Objetivo: Identificar cómo repercute el rol del cuidador de su nieto en la salud del adulto mayor que ejerce este papel, con el fin de evitar o prevenir las complicaciones ocasionadas por dicha tarea. Discusión:Este rol de cuidador implica aspectos positivos y negativos en la salud del adulto mayor; negativos como dejar en segundo plano su autocuidado y su vida social; y como efecto positivo sentimientos de satisfacción como sentirse útil y productivo. Conclusiones: Aunque la condición de salud del adulto mayor que ejerce el rol de cuidador de su nieto se ve afectada tanto positiva como negativamente, en este estudio se hace énfasis en el aspecto negativo porque se puede presentar mayor riesgo de problemas emocionales, cardiovasculares y osteomusculares, así como el empleo de estrategias para disminuir tales riesgos.

This study examined the association between grandparental co‐residence and child academic and behavioral outcomes using a sample from Shanghai, China (n = 1,763), and was built on two theoretical perspectives: intergenerational solidarity theory and the contextual model of family stress. These models integrate the impact of residential and relational proximity to grandparents on child well‐being and underscore the importance of family context. This study also explored the moderating effects of family resources using proxies that prior theoretical and empirical studies have found to be important to such associations: family income, parental education, hukou status, and subjective social status. Results indicated that among families without co‐residing grandparents, rural and low‐income parents reported their children to have more externalizing behavioral issues than their respective urban and non‐low‐income counterparts. In addition, children who resided in poorly resourced families (i.e., low family income, low parental education, low subjective social status, or rural hukou status) tended to benefit from living with grandparents compared to their well‐resourced counterparts in terms of lower externalizing and internalizing behaviors reported by teachers. These results do not negate the potential beneficial effects of living with grandparents for children in well‐resourced environments. Implications for practice and policy, as well as future research directions, are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Family changes and the role of grandfather over time have been relevant since they play an important role in the transmission of social and emotional values and nowadays they have been taking center stage in front of tasks related to care, education and upbringing. Objective: To relate the personality styles of caregivers grandparents and the parenting practices used with their grandchildren through relevant instruments to obtain inferences between various variables. Methods: The present investigation uses a quantitative methodology with a non-experimental approach of correlational scope, with an intentional non-probabilistic sample of 60 caregivers grandparents as participants. Results: The most frequent personality styles in the population are: Obsessive Compulsive, Schizoid, Dependent, Schizotypal and Depressive; the most used parenting practices are: Positive Orientation, Sensitization Techniques and Expression of Affection, likewise, it is found that the female sex has the highest correlation with the variables. Conclusions: Depending on the behavioral characteristics of personality styles and the range in which their characteristics stand out, parenting practices are used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Human longevity imposes new challenges and opportunities on the Brazilian social and family configuration. Intergenerational interventions provide opportunities for exchange, reflection and discussion in order to minimize conflicts, to stimulate coexistence and to develop more favorable or positive attitudes about old age. The objective of this study was to carry out an integrative review of the Portuguese language literature based on scientific articles relative to attitudes about old age of children and adolescents from 2012 to 2017, focusing on intergenerational activities and the role of grandparents. We selected 13 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Attitudes about old age are manifold, associating with cohabitation, arrangement and family roles, intergenerational conflicts, coexistence with older people, and socio-demographic conditions. Despite the variability of the studies, most emphasized the instrumental and emotional support of the grandparents, as well as the benefits of intergenerational interventions. Methodological issues are highlighted, as well as the need to investigate male grandparents and caregivers grandparents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current demographic changes and work-family reconciliation difficulties in Spain have resulted in an increase in the arrangement of grandparents caring for their grandchildren. However, in order to ensure that the relationship between both generations is a privileged interaction that promotes successful ageing, furthering our knowledge of the challenges that this field of study faces is necessary. On this basis, the purpose of this article is to review the theories regarding this family relationship, which, together with the empirical research into this area, comprise the basis of a three-pronged proposal that includes the keys or challenges to studying the role of grandparents: (1) the heterogeneity and multidimensionality in the study of this role; (2) the complex interaction of positive and negative aspects that produce significant ambivalence in grandparents as a reaction to their experiences in this role; and (3) the influence of the baby boom generation grandparents' new characteristics.

El presente trabajo se basa en una investigación exploratoria y descriptiva sobre las relaciones intergeneracionales abuelosnietos adolescentes, buscando comprender, desde la perspectiva del adolescente, las comunicaciones, significaciones y afectos que se gestan en torno a su vínculo transgeneracional, diferenciando las relaciones que establecen con los abuelos y las abuelas, así como posibles diferencias vinculares entre los abuelos paternos y los abuelos maternos. Existen diferencias basadas en la selección voluntaria de actividades con los abuelos de la línea materna, mientras que con los abuelos de la línea paterna parecen reflejar actividades de índole obligatoria que no forman parte de un agrado aparente, pero sí forman parte de vínculos integrativos de su identidad y su vínculos tanto intergeneracionales cómo transgeneracionales.

El patrimonio histórico educativo forma parte del patrimonio cultural de la humanidad. Conscientes de ello, muchos son los trabajos que, especialmente en la última década, están contribuyendo al estudio, investigación, recuperación, puesta en valor y difusión de la memoria y el patrimonio de la educación. En este artículo, la preocupación por sensibilizar a los más pequeños de la sociedad en la salvaguarda y conservación del patrimonio histórico educativo nos lleva a describir una experiencia didáctica consistente en el diseño e implementación de un encuentro intergeneracional entre niños/as y abuelos/as, desarrollado en el marco universitario desde el Museo Pedagógico de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Sevilla. Se trata de una práctica pedagógica concebida para que pequeños y mayores intercambien pensamientos, vivencias y sentimientos, relacionados con los juegos y juguetes del ayer. Todo ello, con la intención de reconocer la importancia que tiene propiciar oportunidades didácticas que contribuyan a reconocer que tanto los juegos, como los juguetes del pasado, son una parte importante de nuestra herencia patrimonial histórico educativa.

In the last decade, there are many trials that are contributing to the study, research, recovery, valorisation and dissemination of memory and heritage education. This article describes a teaching experience in the design and implementation of an intergenerational encounter between children and grandparents, developed from the Pedagogical Museum of the Faculty of Education at the University of Seville. The experience is to sensitize younger members of the society in safeguarding and preservation of historical heritage education. This is a pedagogical practice designed for young and old alike to exchange thoughts, experiences and feelings related to yesterday games and toys. The intention is to recognize the importance of promoting educational opportunities that contribute to recognize that both games, and toys of the past, are an important part of our historical and education heritage.

Abstract Objective: To apprehend the experience of grandmothers who take care of their grandchildren who consume psychoactive substances. Methods: A descriptive study with a qualitative approach conducted with five grandmothers of two health services in a city in the interior of São Paulo. Data have collected from July 2015 to May 2016, through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the technique of thematic content analysis. Results: The grandmothers recognized that their grandchildren used drugs when they changed their behavior, which required them to take on the role of counselor and educator. The aging process and financial difficulty consisted in limits to care. Conclusion and implications for practice: The grandmothers suffered psychosocial, structural, and organizational impacts, requiring nurses to enhance their facilitator skills in relational processes between two distinct generations of age and values.

El Proyecto de Voluntariado Universitario “Revalorizar el Saber Ancestral” tuvo como objetivo general reivindicar y capitalizar saberes populares de los adultos mayores sobre el uso de plantas, como actores protagónicos y no sólo como beneficiarios. Fue ejecutado por alumnos y docentes de la Universidad Nacional de Río Negro (UNRN), Argentina. En un ámbito de esparcimiento e intercambio, se sistematizaron experiencias y se registraron testimonios sobre el uso de plantas con propiedades curativas o de valor alimenticio. A fin de reivindicar parte del patrimonio cultural inmaterial, esos conocimientos fueron compartidos con la comunidad, en talleres y encuentros que facilitaron la comunicación intergeneracional y entre pares. A través de diferentes actividades se lograron revitalizar procesos socioculturales a partir de la construcción colectiva y el intercambio intergeneracional de saberes y prácticas populares asociados al uso y aprovechamiento de las plantas, promoviendo de este modo, la conservación del patrimonio cultural local. Los resultados de encuestas mostraron la existencia de una posible brecha comunicacional en la transmisión de saberes entre adultos mayores y jóvenes. Finalmente, destacamos que las prácticas extensionistas cumplen una importante función social y constituyen un proceso formativo de estudiantes voluntarios, docentes, y otros actores sociales, actuando como factor integrador del vínculo universidad-sociedad.

En el presente artículo se van a abordar los aspectos más relevantes sobre la influencia de la colaboración del voluntariado en una Comunidad de Aprendizaje. En concreto, se estudia el papel de los abuelos y abuelas del alumnado del CEIP Navas de Tolosa a través de las actuaciones educativas de éxito. Se ha utilizado la metodología cualitativa, concretamente se ha realizado: observación, recogida de datos de las experiencias y se han recogido las voces de los propios participantes. El estudio muestran que la participación de toda la comunidad educativa en un centro educativo es garante de la mejora del éxito escolar del alumnado, pero también contribuye a una mejora en las propias vidas de las personas que participan en ella.

Nowadays, the role grandparents have in the family and especially the relationship they have with their grandchildren have suffered deep changes. Values, lifestyles and means of communication cause a digital divide between them. The present study exposes how grandparents influence their grandchildren in aspects such as free time and extracurricular activities and it follows the line of work of the research team.

With the work presented, we intend to know the use of new technologies in a sample of adolescents schooled in the Autonomous Community of Cantabria who live with their grandparents. We have shown, on the one hand, that the situation of the grandparents with respect to the relation and the upbringing of their grandchildren has changed in the last years. On the other hand, we know very well the changes that the adolescent presents in the vital stage in which he is immersed and as his life is influenced by the TICs. The world of the adolescent differs much from that which has lived the grandfather throughout his life. The most important change and the most intergenerational shock is the use of new technologies. We present data of a sample is composed of 2371 students from 1º of the ESO to 1º of Bachillerato with a distribution of 1203 men and 1168 women. Cluster sampling was stratified so that it could be considered representative of the Autonomous Community. Once the statistical analysis was performed on the 65 variables interrelated with the main variable: "Live with grandparents", significant differences were found in thirteen variables. These are all related to: Use video games / video game consoles, Video game reviews, Tablet / IPAD rating, Number of PCs at home, Home internet connection, Different aspects related to social networks, Relationships with people using the network, Internet connection time, Sleep hours to be connected, Uses of the mobile. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that, although the above differences do not allow us to establish a clear relationship, we can affirm that there is a greater use of new technologies in adolescents living with their grandparents.

The lack of studies and tools that analyze the perception that grandparents have of their emotional competence towards their grandchildren, makes it necessary to design and then validate an instrument that provides information about it. To this end, a sample composed of 140 male grandparents and 210grandmothers who take care of their grandchildren took part in the study. In the validation of the scale two subsamples were considered, performing with one of them an exploratory factor analysis and with the other one a confirmatory factor analysis. As a result, a 10 item scale was obtained, distributed in four factors that explain 45.25% of the variance, with adequate reliability indexes: stress, assertiveness, difficulties to conciliate the care of grandchildren with personal time and emotional self-regulation. The scale presents acceptable concurrent validity values with perceived satisfaction and efficacy in the development of educational functions. The study also explores differential results of emotional competencies of grandparents based on gender, age and kinship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
