Description
Grandmothers who raise their grandchildren full time are the focus of a 2024 study by Minzhi Ye and Gregory Smith. Parenting is the core duty of these caregivers, yet little work has mapped how their styles of care differ from one grandmother to the next.
Using survey measures of warmth and discipline from 733 grandmothers across the country, the team sorted them into four groups. The largest group used an optimal style, then a permissive group, an inconsistent group, and a small authoritative group. The groups differed in how a grandmother's anxiety and low mood linked to the child's inner distress and acting out. The results show that family support should fit the care style, not treat all grandmothers alike.
