As a consequence

 the fact that the young generation simply does not understand the importance of these connections and does not appreciate them.
Moreover

people
 who have been growing up without warm kinship could experience some difficulties in building close relationships in the future.
For instance
, hundreds of scientific research have already shown that children who rarely spend any quality
time
 with their grandparents are more likely to grow rude and introverted.
To conclude
