Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the trends of the contemporary family, changes in its structure in comparison with the traditionally understood multigenerational family about the weakening of the position of grandparents and thus weakening their influence on the upbringing of grandchildren in contemporary society. The theoretical analysis is supplemented by data from A. Št‘astná presented in the pilot study of the Contemporary Czech Family project and from P. Vlachová‘s research Senior in the Czech Family focused on the position of grandparents in the family, their influence and the essential elements of the transgenerational transmission.
