| Annotation | This Israeli study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceptions of family characteristics by three family dyads (maternal and paternal grandparents, and parents), as well as the relationship of these perceptions with the adjustment of young children in these families to kindergarten. Grandparents and their adult children (parents) described their current families by completing the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (D H Olsen, J Portner and Y Lavee, 1985). Due to significant Pearson product-moment correlations between cohesion and adaptability in the three dyads, the relationship between grandparents' and parents' descriptions of their families and between family perceptions and children's adjustment to kindergarten were explored using partial correlations. Despite the similarities on family dimensions between generations, the authors found unique influences of parents, maternal and paternal grandparents on three unrelated indices of children's adjustment to kindergarten.
