摘要
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to understand the needs and experiences of Chinese families where grandparents were involved in the non-custodial care of their grandchildren. Design/methodology/approach: In total five grandparent focus groups and three parent focus groups were conducted. The data were analysed using the constant comparative method. Findings: Though most grandparents enjoyed their grandparent roles, there were differences in the perception of the grandparent role between grandparents and parents. Both grandparents and parents reported intergenerational conflicts on the management of the grandchildren, which was distressing for both parties. Practical implications: It was suggested that grandparent training programmes might be a viable strategy to support families. Originality/value: The study provided insights into family dynamics in the context of grandparent caregiving, child development, as well as children's services.
