Until recently, social scientists have paid more attention to parent-child relations at the early end of the age continuum: young children and their young-adult parents. Many of the same issues and approaches can be applied to the parallel study of parent-child relations at the later end of the age continuum, adults and their parents, and people in early old age and their parents. Generation gaps may be of the same order of magnitude, whether this term refers to value differences or to conflicts. Helping and communication patterns can be examined at both age poles, as can attitudes and feelings. The issue of geographic closeness does not usually apply to minor children who reside in the same place as their parents, but is a salient issue in later years
