Purpose This study tests the validity and reliability of the Ideal Grandparent Scale (IGS; Mansson, 2015) on university students. Design and Methods The Turkish version of the IGS was administered to 247 students at a university in Turkey to determine its validity and reliability. The students’ mean age was 21.19 years (standard deviation = 1.69), with a range of 18–25 years. Findings The results showed a single factored construct with factor loads ranging from 0.748 to 0.917 and explaining 71.67% of the variance. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.96 indicated that the internal consistency of the scale items was high. Practical Implications The Turkish version of the IGS is valid and reliable for use in potential studies to be conducted in Turkey.

“…In fact, grandparents are generally happy to take care of their grandchildren. In a study of grandmothers, participants stated that they see the care of grandchildren as a sacred duty given to them despite its difficulties, which shows that they tend to focus more on the positive aspects of this task (Tas ¸kın & Akçay, 2019). The preference of relying on grandparents for childcare and the willingness of grandparents to provide it can be explained by families' sociocultural characteristics.…”

Objective The aim of the study was to examine perspectives on helping raise grandchildren among Turkish grandmothers who care for working parents' children. Background Grandparents helping raise their grandchildren has become increasingly common as a means to support women's employment. In Turkey, the Büyükanne Projesi (Grandma Project) was carried out in 2017 with the support of the government. This project encouraged grandmothers to help raise their grandchildren to encourage women's participation in the workforce. The importance of grandmothers in the family system and the role of raising grandchildren has gradually increased. Method This research is qualitative and phenomenological. Sixteen grandmothers living in Turkey participated in the research. Participants were selected by criterion sampling, a purposive sampling method. Results The study's findings were categorized into three main themes: the effects of being raised by grandmothers on grandchildren, grandmothers' behavior management styles, and grandmothers' educational needs. Conclusion While raising the children of working parents, grandmothers strive to instill societal and familial values to the children. In so doing, grandmothers appear to prefer democratic and child‐centered behavior‐management methods over authoritarian and oppressive ones. It was noted that grandmothers have some educational needs, especially with regard to child development issues. Implications Grandmothers' childrearing practices can be improved with training. Grandmothers can play an important role in raising children to increase women's participation in the workforce and to help support the family economically.
