Involved grandparents are those who take an active role in their grandchildren's lives and provide daily care and support. Given that Margie and Tim take care of their grandchildren after school every day, they are involved grandparents. Remote grandparents are those who live far away and have little contact with their grandchildren. Companionate grandparents have a warm and loving relationship with their grandchildren but are not involved in their daily care. Evolved grandparents is not a recognized term in the literature on grandparenting.
