THE GENEALOGY, VERSION MOM

• The child preexists in the family imaginary (parents, grandparent...), most of the time as " idealized child " who will come to consolidate, prolong, even repair parental narcissism. It is also registered in what we call " Symbolic "; that means he will occupy a socially definite place (wire or girl of..., in a culture and a particular social group, in the succession of the generations). This symbolic inscription system is done by the nomination.
  
  In our companies the Surname represents this inscription. The first name as for him arises at the same time from the registers symbolic system and imaginary because he is culturally obligatory and individually selected (for partially unconscious reasons).
  
  
• The age, the health of the grandparents will also play a significant role in the mode of exchange which will be established between the grandparents and their grandchildren. A fifty year old grandmother will have obviously more energy than an eighty year old grandmother. The activities they will propose will not be of comparable nature.
  
  
• In the usual situations, the grandparents have temporarily the load of their grandchildren, at the time of the holidays for example. They then will play full-time their role of grandparents, i.e. they are qualified to intervene with the child because they are the parents of the parents of the child who is entrusted to them. It is this which authorizes them to allot the qualification of grandparent, it is by this sequence of the generations that they can adapt their title.
