Oggi i nonni sono più importanti che nel passato: vivono di più e in buona salute e quindi si allungano gli anni di vita condivisa con le generazioni più giovani; le relazioni con i nipoti diventano più strette e affettuose, fondandosi su un rapporto di cura che permette anche alle madri di lavorare fuori casa; infine i nonni rappresentano spesso un ancoraggio sicuro nei momenti di crisi e cambiamento della famiglia, come una separazione, un divorzio, una migrazione.
