generational bonds
Links across ages
Generational bonds are the connections and loyalties that link people across different age groups within families or communities—between grandparents and grandchildren, elders and youth, or successive generations of a lineage.
The phrase emphasizes continuity and mutual obligation across time: The family reunion strengthened generational bonds that had weakened over years of distance.
