Abstract
In this work we analyze grandparent-grandchild relationship as a support and as an educational and value system, the joint activities and the image grandchildren have about the relationship from an intercultural perspective. Samples from different cities of Central America (San Salvador, El Salvador and Guatemala City, Guatemala) have been compared with a sample of the Italian population (Fossano, Piedmont, in northern Italy). The aim of this comparison is to analyze the similarities and divergences between the different cultures which have been studied. The total sample consisted of 98 children aged 3 to 6. The results show the strong involvement in the grandparent-grandchild relationship, which has important benefits: bonds of love without conditions, some differences in the family profile between Italian and Hispanic children, as well as the great similarity in the kinds of activities and the image grandchildren have about the relationship.
