Abstract

Intergenerational education is very common among aging population and at the time when birth restrictions are lifted. Studies have shown that intergenerational education proceeds negatively and has issues in which children develop psychological problems when the knowledge of the elderly do not keep up with the younger generations’, the older educational ideas struggle against the modern ones, and so on, that further bring issues in the lack of self-identity and capacity from grandparents. Bad relationships between family members can affect the family, particularly in the communication between elderly caregivers and their grandchildren. It could further influence the parent-child relationship if unpleasant emotions pile up.
