Abstract

[Have you ever wondered why the word grandparent has the ‘parent’ component in it? Is it because grandparent is one’s parent’s parent OR is it because a grandparent has the love and compassion of a parent? As this book focuses on the Asian grandparent, let us take a quick look at the terminology to gain some insights. In Mandarin language, the paternal grandfather is Ye Ye, and the grandmother is Nainai.]
