Cohabitation of three generations was the norm and even if that were not the case the role of babysitter or nanny was practically non-existent because grandparents automatically took over whenever the need arose. Since the fall of communism opened up new opportunities, things have changed. Young families now live alone and their elderly parents often either work or live too far away to help out. While this gives both sides greater freedom and independence to live as they choose, there is a downside – grandchildren are fast loosing contact with their grandparents and slowly a divide is opening up between the youngest and oldest generations in the family. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/babicka_vnucka_peceni.jpg?timestamp=1591145109 New projects aim to bridge the widening gap between generations https://english.radio.cz/new-projects-aim-bridge-widening-gap-between-generations-8540001 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
