Traditionally the child lights for the parent, but when we say "child" we mean that in terms of lineage, not chronological age. A child under the age of 14 who loses a parent is not required to light a candle because until that age the child is not responsible to have to mourn or to have to recite the prayer for the dead (the "Kaddish"). But if there is no child left to light a candle for the grandparent, or if the child wishes to honor the grandparent, there is no prohibition against it. Same for a brother, sister, other other relation who has no one left to mourn for him or her. I think the more important tradition, however, is for the Kaddish to be spoken aloud and the names of the dead read aloud as a living memory so that their names would never be forgotten.
