Annotation	Grandparents in the Republic of China want to remain influential, but social policy has not provided them with education to fulfil their changing role. This study of the situation in Taiwan used the Grandparent Strengths and Needs Inventory; all three generations described aspects of grandparent success and specific realms of learning they should acquire to become more effective. Significant main effects that influenced responses about grandparent performance were generation, gender of grandchild, age of grandchild, frequency of grandchild care by grandparent, generations living together, and amount of time grandparent and grandchild spent together. Considerations were recommended to improve behaviour of grandparents, and guide the development of educational programmes for them.
