“…First, there is consensus that grandfathers socialize grandchildren to the dominant culture (Bates, 2009a;Bengtson, Copen, Putney, & Silverstein, 2009) and to family roles and responsibilities (Bates & Goodsell, forthcoming;Goodsell, Bates, & Behnke, 2011;Waldrop et al, 1999). Second, grandfathers serve an important supportive function for their children and grandchildren (Bates, 2009a;Sellers & Milton, 2007)-much like a safety line that can be extended when needed (Hagestad, 1985;Mann & Leeson, 2010). Grandfathers may offer support out of necessity, during times of individual and family crisis (Burton, 1992;Roberto, Allen, & Blieszner, 2001), or may attempt to support the typical development of grandchildren in the absence of parents (Bates & Goodsell, forthcoming;Chan, 2007).…”

“…In spiritual work, grandfathers offer advice about everyday sorts of problems and purvey comfort in times of crisis (King & Elder, 1999;Tinsley & Parke, 1988). Spiritual work may occur during family rituals with a group of people (Kivett, 1985) or occur in one-on-one situations with grandchildren (Sellers & Milton, 2007). For some grandfathers spiritual work is based on religious dogmas and practices, whereas for others guidance is not connected with a specific religion (Waldrop et al, 1999).…”

“…Lineage work is a type of re-involvement with a man's personal past (Kivnick, 1985(Kivnick, , 1986 and carries implications for his "immortality" through grandchildren as they carry on the family line through names and in memories (Thomas, 1989). Grandfathers bring the past to life in lineage work by recounting family events, telling their own life stories (Sellers & Milton, 2007), reciting names and dates, and by showing and discussing with grandchildren the family tree (Weber & Absher, 2003). Indeed, grandfathers are grandchildren's living link to their own family's history.…”

“…The volume of scholarship on grandparenting, grandparenthood, and grandparent-grandchild relationships has grown substantially over the past four decades and provides evidence that emotionally close intergenerational relationships benefit grandparents and grandchildren (Copen & Silverstein, 2007;Ruiz & Silverstein, 2007;Oyserman, Radin, & Benn, 1993;Sellers & Milton, 2007). The patterns of relations also lend strong support to the notion that contemporary families value meaningful multigenerational bonds (Bengtson, 1975;Silverstein & Marenco, 2001;Taylor, Robila, & Lee, 2005).…”
