Great Grandchild for Dummies

noun


What does Great Grandchild really mean?

Great Grandchild is a term we use to describe a very special person in a family. Imagine your grandparents, who we call our grandparents. They are the parents of our parents, right? Well, imagine that you have grandparents, and they have children, who we call our parents. Now, if those parents had a child, that child would be you! So, in a way, you could say that you are a grandchild to your grandparents and a child to your parents.

Now, think about it one step further. What if you or your siblings have children of your own someday? Well, those children would be called your great grandchildren. They would be one more generation away from you than your own children are. Just like your grandparents are the parents of your parents, your great grandchildren are the children of your children.

So, to recap, a great grandchild is the child of your child. They come after your children, grandchildren, and even your great grandkids' parents in the family tree. They are extra special because they are part of your family, but they are a few steps further away from you than your own children or grandchildren.
