Grandparents expect “quality over quantity” in intergenerational interaction (Oct, 2024)
The "Appreciating Grandparents: Family Relationships and Love" Survey that we collaborated with Wofoo Social Enterprises showed that the duration of time spent together does not directly impact grandparents’ satisfaction level toward their relationships with grandchildren. Grandparents most desired “Quality Time” with their family members over quantity of time.
This survey is one of the kick-off events for our “Grandparents’ Day 2024/25” campaign. By understanding grandparents’ preferred ways of appreciation through this survey, we aim to encourage the public to express gratitude to grandparents for their unconditional contributions to family.
