The benefits to children of a close, long-term connection with older adults include: 1  Through grandparents, children have a better sense of who they are and where they've come from. They have roots, a history, and a sense of continuity and perspective. 2  Intergenerational bonds need not be traditional or biological. Older adult mentors can make a significant difference in a child's life. The involvement of a reliable, caring adult helps children develop life skills, and builds self-esteem and confidence.
