Research on grandparents shows that :

  • A.Grandparents are often the primary source of the non-parental care of young children
  • B.About 30% of middle age become grandparents
  • C.The average age of becoming grandparents in western societies is about 70 years
  • D.Most of the grandparents have indirect influence on their grandchildren behaviour

Answer: A

Research shows that grandparents are often the primary source of non-parental care of young children.

When mothers work outside the home, grandparents, especially grandmothers, are among the most common carers of infants and preschool children, both in India and in Western studies.

The other statements are false. Most middle-aged people, not about 30 per cent, become grandparents. In Western societies people usually become grandparents in their late forties or fifties, not at about 70. And research reports that grandparents can influence grandchildren directly, through care, play and teaching, as well as indirectly through the parents.
