Abstract
“Be grandparent” It is a remarkable event, even though it is less common in these days. The grandchildren are a source of stimulation to the seniors, contributing against the aging and providing them a better quality of life. The results show that social relations are important for the elderly can enjoy quality of life, but will the grandchildren make the difference when we refer to life quality of the grandparents?
