Description

Chunli Lu and colleagues study how parenting passes across three generations in Chinese families in a 2026 survey. Grandparent style may shape parent style, which then links to child behavior. The team asked how family closeness or conflict carries that chain, and how the chain relates to inward and outward child problems.

Data came from 2,120 families with children, parents, and reports on the oldest generation. Warm and firm parenting passed on through family affection, then linked to fewer child problems. Harsh control passed on through family conflict, then linked to more child problems. Strengthening warm firm care and breaking harsh cycles may help the youngest group.
