Last week was National Grandparents Day. The day was
signed into law in the United States by President Jimmy Carter in 1978
and is the day each year that Grandparents are appreciated and
recognised through various activities and celebrations. In our society
and in the absence of a formal and effective social security system, the
extended family system has evolved into a homegrown version of a more
formal welfare system. Grandparents have always and continue to play a
critical role within the extended family providing guidance, care and
financial support.
