“…Kansas has multiple causes (Kataoka-Yahiro, Ceria, & Caulfield, 2004). Grandparents take responsibility for their grandchildren because of parental inability, most commonly due to teen pregnancy; substance abuse; incarceration; mental and emotional instability leading to neglect, abuse, and/or abandonment of the child(ren); and illness or death (Butler & Zakari, 2005;Davidhizar, Bechtel, & Woodring, 2000;Phillips & Bloom, 1998).…”

“…Physically, the demands of keeping up with a child can be strenuous. Feelings of guilt and shame over the parental failures of their children and the circumstances surrounding these failures may add to the mental and emotional burdens of this group (Kataoka-Yahiro et al, 2004). The new role can provide a plethora of new worries formed by daily uncertainties such as whether the parents or government will take the child(ren), the fate of the child(ren) if the grandparent is unable to take care of them due to sickness or death, and the ability to provide adequately for the child(ren) financially and emotionally.…”

Purpose: The population of skipped-generation households is increasing both nationally and in Kansas. This qualitative study explored the nutrition-related practices and attitudes of Kansas older skipped-generation caregivers and the children under their care.Design and Methods: Twenty-three Kansas caregivers representing 19 households were interviewed using a semi-structured approach. The interviewer asked questions from five categories: participant background information; nutrition-related attitudes; nutrition education experiences; nutrition-related practices including children's eating and physical activity, and food safety; and perceived usefulness of future population-specific nutrition education materials.Interviews were recorded on audiotape and transcribed verbatim. Transcribed quotes were sorted categorically according to the researchers' primary questions and additional emerging categories. The categorized quotes were then coded. Pattern recognition and repetition were used to identify themes.Results: Nutrition-related practices and attitudes changed over time. Compared to when they were parenting the first time, skipped-generation caregivers reported that they are more nutrition and food safety conscious. Their grandchildren appeared to be adversely affected by an on-the-go lifestyle and the use of more electronics. Caregivers have shifted their parenting style.Their sources of child feeding advice are based mostly on tradition. Caregivers believed that nutrition and safe food handling are important; they held beliefs that nutritious food is expensive; and most did not believe they would use population-specific nutrition education materials.Additional findings detailed the caregivers' descriptions of the children, their advice to other caregivers, the challenges and advantages of caregiving, and the children's diets and physical and nutrition-related leisure activities. The preferred distribution of nutrition education materials was through grandparent support groups. Implications:Research was exploratory in nature with a limited sample size. This population could benefit from education incorporating topics on infant, child, adolescent, and sports nutrition; healthful recipes and snack ideas; quick and inexpensive healthful meals that are low in fat, sugar, and salt; healthful fast food and packaged food options; the importance of checking the internal temperatures of meat when cooking; ways to feed "picky eaters;" benefits of eating together as a family; tips to limit children's sedentary time; and intergenerational gardening and cooking.

“…Although the proportion of Asian and Pacific American custodial grandparents is small, a study by the Asian American Federation of New York (2003) found that 35% of all Asian American respondents 65 years and older reported that they care for their grandchildren. The existing literature on Asian and Pacific American grandparents emphasizes grandparent involvement in child care while the parents work, mutual reciprocity and obligation in relationships, and substitute parenting, sometimes called extensive grandparenting (Kataoka-Yahiro, Ceria, & Yoder, 2004;Tam & Detzner, 1998). An extensive grandparent caregiver is a grandparent who provides a significant proportion of his or her grandchild's day care while the grandchild's parents are at work.…”

Increasingly, grandparents provide primary care for their grandchildren, but minimal research exists focusing on Asian and Pacific American grandparent caregivers. Using the conceptual framework of familism, this case study explores the context of a Korean American, interracial, two-grandparent household (age 72 and 73) raising their 12-year-old grandson. The interview of this family was analyzed using coding, memoing, and comparative analysis techniques often used in case study analysis. Three themes related to familism emerged: staying connected, maintaining cultures, and clashing cultures. Inclusion of these concepts may be appropriate for service providers in assessing grandparentheaded families and identifying cultural strengths and appropriate interventions.KEYWORDS grandparent-headed households, culture, familism, exploratory case study As the phenomenon of grandparent caregivers increases and the U.S. population becomes increasingly racially and culturally diverse, various frameworks can be used to inform our understanding of intergenerational relationships and processes. Despite a growing trend toward grandparentheaded households in the general population, very little research has been conducted on Asian and Pacific American (APA) grandparents as primary

Abstract>The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experiences of grandmothers who provide child care services to their grandchildren and employed mothers who utilize child care by grandmothers, with regards to their relationships while exchanging the specific type of intergenerational support. The data for this study came from 42 in-depth, individual interviews with 21 pairs of employed mothers who had at least one child younger than elementary-school age and their mothers or mothers-in-law who had provided child care on a daily basis for their grandchildren. Our phenomenological analysis revealed that the grandmothers felt uncomfortable and overwhelmed when caring for their grandchildren and that they considered this activity to be different from caring for their own children by nature. However, the grandmothers wanted to help their adult children based on their feeling of "boo-mo-ma-eum" (meaning parental heart, i.e., love or care). The employed mothers perceived that they were substantially dependent on the grandmothers by receiving help with child care and housework. Reliance on grandmothers was inevitable and beneficial to these mothers. Dynamic intergenerational living arrangements enabled the dependent relationships.The grandmothers set specific boundaries pertaining to current and future child care so that they would not take on too much responsibility for child care. The mothers used various strategies that contributed to stable child care support from the grandmothers.Providing financial remuneration was an important strategy that had symbolic relational meanings, such as expressing gratitude, rather than financial meanings.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯▲ 주요어(Key Words) : 고부관계(relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law), 모녀관계(relationships between older mothers and adult daughters), 세대 간 양가성(intergenerational ambivalence), 세대 간 지원(intergenerational support), 조모의 손자녀 양육지원(child care by grandmothers)
