At the grandparents' level, grandparents' mental health was a widely identified risk factor that influenced grandchildren's internalising and externalising behavioural problems.…”

“…All studies conducted in the U.S. regarding custodial grandparentheaded families indicated that grandchildren raised by grandparents had a relatively lower academic performance (Cross & Day, 2008;Smithgall et al, 2009), and some grandchildren needed special education (Cross & Day, 2008). Differently, a study conducted in Korea did not find that grandchildren had a poor academic performance, even with 28.3% of these grandchildren ranked in the top 10 in their classes (Park & Lee, 2016). Cross and Day (2008) suggested that most of these grandchildren had positive attitudes towards school because they had opportunities to socialise with others, but that these grandchildren were not as interested in attending classes and/ or class content.…”

from supplementary childcare to co-caregiving while living in a multigenerational household. Another subset of grandparents, or custodial grandparents, act as the sole caregiver for a child in the absence of a parent. Almost 7.1 million grandparents live with their grandchildren in the United States and 13.4% of these are custodial grandparents (United States Census Bureau, 2020). This reflects an estimated 7% increase in custodial grandparenting since 2009 in the United States (Meyer & Kandic, 2017). There has been a concurrent increase in custodial grandparenting in several economically developing nations since 1990 (Zimmer

“…To evaluate its impacts, some studies regard grandparental care as being beneficial for deepening intergenerational relations, thus it is good for the psychological health, study performance and personalities of children. However, some scholars have found some negative impacts of grandparental care on child development (Dunifon, 2013; Goodman & Silverstein, 2002; Park & Lee, 2016; Wild & Gaibie, 2014; Zhou et al., 2015), which represents the controversial view in this debate.…”

Grandparental care has become an involuntary choice in life for many families, mainly due to parents' unavailability to provide care and the lack of public or affordable private childcare. This phenomenon has raised concerns regarding the effects of grandparental care along the dimensions of child development. This study aims to test the association between grandparental care and child development in three dimensions: subjective wellbeing, behavioural traits and study performance. It used data from the 2018 China Family Panel Studies survey. First, the study outlines the data and the applied method with defined variables, on the basis of which an overview on the current stage of grandparental care is presented. It then examines the association of the impact of grandparental care in different dimensions using the general linear model, along with the other influencing factors. Finally, a cross-age group comparison is employed. The results of the study illustrate the difficulty of examining an overall picture of grandparental childcare, with its negative or positive associations. However, when evaluated using the features of different age groups of children's development, significant associations between grandparental care and child development are mainly found in the 6-11 age group, but the significant associations weaken or disappear in the 12-16 age group. Attachment theory and peer group theory are used to explain the difference between the two age groups.

“…At the grandchild level, a number of factors were associated with children's socioemotional, mental, and behavioral problems. These factors included the grandchild's gender (e.g., being a male), race (e.g., being White), age (e.g., being older), prior traumatic experiences, low self-esteem, low social support, and low life satisfaction (Bernedo, Fuentes, & Fernández, 2008;Kelch-Oliver, 2011;Park & Lee, 2016;Yorgason et al, 2014). At the grandparent level, grandparents' mental health and parenting practices were the two most significant predictors of grandchildren's behavioral problems (Goodman, 2012;Smith et al, 2018;Smithgall, Mason, Michels, LiCalsi, & Goerge, 2009).…”

Purpose: This systematic review aims to examine the effectiveness of interventions that seek to improve outcomes of grandchildren raised by grandparents. Method: A systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was undertaken. We searched in Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Family Studies Abstracts, PubMed, PsycINFO, Social Work Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Results indicated that grandchildren who participated in these interventions had improvement in their socio-emotional, mental, and behavioral outcomes but had mixed educational outcomes, regardless of research designs and evaluation methods. Two out of eight studies were of high quality, while the rest needed improved rigor in designs and analyses. Conclusions: The review summarized evidence for interventions to improve grandchildren’s outcomes and pointed out directions for future research and practice.
