Neugarten and Weinstein identify four grandparenting styles: remote, companionate, involved, and surrogate. The remote style is characterized by infrequent contact, where grandparents maintain a more distant relationship with their grandchildren. The companionate style involves a warm and affectionate relationship, allowing for fun and leisure activities. The involved style indicates a more active role, with grandparents participating in their grandchildren's daily lives, while the surrogate style refers to grandparents who take on primary caregiving responsibilities.
