# Grandparents Raising Grandchildren in a Digital World

Technology can bridge generational gaps. Yet, it can also present unique challenges, especially for grandparents raising their grandchildren. With [nearly 8 million children ](https://patch.com/us/across-america/grandma-grandpa-rescue-face-virtual-learning-curve)living in homes where a grandparent is considered the head of the household in the United States alone, these generation and technology gaps need to be addressed.

At Digitunity, we want to support grandparents raising their grandchildren in navigating our digital world. This is why we wrote a blog post highlighting ways grandparents and grandchildren can bridge the generation gap through technology. You can read this blog[here](https://links.digitunity.org/grandparents-older-adults) or by clicking on the image below.
