Grandparents are a great resource to grandchildren, whether e situation or not. In in a many cases they make all the difference in the childs development and prospects for the future. In 1996, more than 1 million children were being raised exclusively by their grandparents. Many more grandparents care for their grandchild on a part-tim- e basis, from having the child and mother living with them to caring One full-tim- t ; ; Life Styles Jo Ann Mathis Ross USU Davis Extension for the child during the day while the parent works. This has probably always been the case to some extent, although the reasons may have changed. Where grandparents were once more likely to assume this role because of the death of a parent, they are now more often involved because the childs parents are not able to fulfill then-role- . The Grandparent Informa tion Center at AARP has found these reasons in a sample of 500 grandparents contacting the center for resources or referral: 44 percent - Substance abuse by parents 28 percent - Child abuse, neglect or abandonment 1 1 percent - Teenage pregnancy or parent unable to deal with responsibilities of parenthood 5 percent - Death of a parent 4 percent - Divorce 4 percent - Other, including HIVAIDS Nearly half of these grandpare ents who were caregivers had been doing this for more than 20 years. Seventy-on- e per full-tim- cent reported that the arrangement was permanent. Thirty-nin- e percent of these grandparents had a family income of under $20,000. Eighty-thre- e percent of those contacting the center were Caucasian, 13 percent were black, 3 percent were Hispanic and 1 percent were American Ins dian. were the materd nal grandparents, the paternal grandparents. The most frequent concern of caregiver grandparents contacting the center was for information on legal custody issues. The second most frequent was about financial stresses and pressures. Caregiver grandparents report that caring for a grandchild or Two-third- one-thir- life children alters their routines, reduces the time they have for themselves, makes for less enjoyment of daily activities, and cuts down on the amount of privacy they have. Because these changes are not part of what is expected during the grandparent stage of life, it can cause them added stress.
