confusion in relationships in US census records

I've often found that children who are listed as 'son' or 'daughter' are too young to be that of the head of household. Could they be grandchildren, as they are often listed under the name of an adult child? The only information I've found is the official position that the relationship shown is that to the head of household. Thanks.
