Millions of grandparents have returned to the role of parent. Events such as divorce, loss of job or home, the death or incarceration of an adult child with children, or a teen pregnancy may abruptly propel a grandparent into a caregiving role. Grandparents may also step in when the needs of children go unmet for a period of time because of underlying situations such as child abuse, AIDS, substance abuse, and even the effects of welfare reform. (Becklund, 1993; De Toledo & Brown, 1995; Jendrek, 1994; and Yorkey, 1993). While the idea of children living with grandparents is not new, the frequency of grandparent care has increased and the reasons for this phenomenon have changed.These problems, and others, continue to increase the stress on families, and particularly the extended family. Any one of these conditions can seriously strain the ability of family members to sustain the integrity of the family system, and many times multiple conditions further compound the difficulties. Grandparents are called upon in increasing numbers to provide support and assistance to families in need of outside help (Burton, 1992; Creighton, 1991; Minkler, Driver, Roe & Bedeian, 1993; Minkler & Roe, 1993). This support and assistance now often involves full-time parenting of grandchildren.Over three million children currently live with their grandparents in a home where no biological parent is present. This represents a two-thirds increase in numbers during the past decade (Children's Defense Fund, 1997). In terms of actual numbers, Caucasian children represent the greatest sector of the population. Proportionately, however, over one child in eight from African-American families lives with a grandparent as head-of household, and in Hispanic families the ratio is one in sixteen. Grandparent-headed families with young children are found in approximately one in twenty five American households (U.S. Census Bureau, 1991).New Family TypeElder individuals have always played an important part in extended family support roles. Recently, however, the large numbers of parents who are failing, for one reason or another, to effectively parent and meet the developmental needs of their children have given rise to an increasing number of skipped generation families. In these families the biological parents are absent from the home over an extended period of time, and grandparents have had to step in to serve as the sole or primary caregivers for their grandchildren (Jendrek, 1993; Strom & Strom, 1993). Court systems may look to grandparents as an alternative to foster placement, and grandparents may assume a primary caretaker role out of a sense of responsibility or affection for the grandchildren. In many instances, a surviving grandparent must function as a single parent. The number and commonality of this kind of household has developed into a new and rapidly growing family typology (De Toledo & Brown, 1995; Smith, Dannison & Vacha-Haa","PeriodicalId":32430,"journal":{"name":"Michigan Family Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78573578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bubolz, CoeditorSince the beginning of the family, connections between generations have been one of the most important social bonds in all societies. For centuries, in most cultures, the family was defined by \"blood relatives\" and their several conjugal units of husband/wife/children. Over time, norms and patterns have evolved in various cultures for intergenerational living arrangements, obligations, support, inheritance, and relationships.Today, in addition to the traditional conjugal unit, families exist in many different forms such as single parent, grandparent-grandchild, childless, same-sex couples and step and blended families. Families differ also in their housing and living patterns. These changes call for new definitions and new ways to work out satisfying and workable intergenerational bonds. This issue includes an array of excellent articles that explore relationships between the generations in today's families.The introductory article by Tim and Ellie Brubaker presents \"The Four Rs\" of respect, responsibility, reciprocity and resilience that are relevant to all forms of families and to persons who work with older people and their families. These qualities can be foundations for strengthening intergenerational bonds and can undergird professional practice. Barbara Ames explores implications of marital satisfaction, divorce, and co-residence patterns on life course parenting and delineates major themes that characterize parent-child relationships over the life course. Elizabeth Seagull presents a value-driven framework based on the core values of respect and honesty, key tools, and practical suggestions for helping two adult generations develop new ways of relating when children \"come home again.\"The growing phenomenon of grandparents raising grandchildren is explored in two articles. Linda Dannison and Andrea Smith use an ecological approach and present generic concepts that apply to programming for all custodial grandparents, regardless of the reasons for taking on the caregiving role. Mary Jane Van Meter and Barbara Hirshorn describe an educational program for grandparents who are raising the children of the grandparent's drug addicted children. The key concept of developing \"self management\" can also apply to other grandparenting situations.

As we approach the next millennium, professionals involved in the education of future human service providers should address these demographic trends. America is aging, and the projected magnitude of changes in the population is clear. The number of people aged 65 and over is expected to increase. Within this aging population, \"demographers predict that the number of ethnic elderly will increase in the future because of increased longevity and the recent waves of immigration\" (Johnson, 1996, p. 309). Intergenerational programming has emerged as a cost-effective way of mobilizing human resources and fostering cross-age understanding. The main belief of these programs is that each of us, at every age, has value and that by working together, we can be catalysts for social change (Intergenerational programming and service learning, 1995).This paper reports the findings of the initial stage of a service-learning project in which college students participated in weekly interactions with immigrant elders. A topic class called Our Elders, Our Roots: Intergenerational Relationships was used to provide the theoretical and reflective components. The goals of this project were:* to examine cross-cultural perspectives on the aging process within the family and the society;* to provide services (translations, advocacy) to immigrants/ refugees/elders with limited English proficiency;* to learn about the experiences of these elders;* to offer support to them in order to meet their needs;* to build friendships across age and cultures;* to increase students' knowledge and appreciation of their own cultural heritage;* to provide an arena where the connection between practice and theory becomes evident.Theoretical Framework of the ProjectSegregation by age and its consequences for human behavior and development pose problems of the greatest magnitude for our society. This social context and the prevalence of ageism have produced great impediments to the transmission of cultural heritage. We need to learn our history to be able to understand our present and, consequently, our future. The process of immigration has altered the roles of older people within the family unit. Furthermore, it has created discrepancies between new cultural demands and traditional roles (Gelfand, 1989). It is critical to understand that ethnicity affects communication, interpretations, feelings, behaviors, values, and beliefs (Hines, Garcia-Preto, McGoldrick, Almeida, & Weltman, (1992). In analyzing intergenerational issues for elderly immigrants, the role ethnicity plays in the aging process should be examined, integrating gender issues, socioeconomic status, historical and sociopolitical contexts, generational place, education, and life experience.\"Intergenerational programs can affect healing","PeriodicalId":32430,"journal":{"name":"Michigan Family Review","volume":"19 1","pages":"57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91259667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ames","doi":"10.3998/MFR.4919087.0004.103","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3998/MFR.4919087.0004.103","url":null,"abstract":"The parent-child dyad is not only the first and primary intergenerational relationship, it is a microcosm of larger society. In this era of rapid social change, many of the challenges of contemporary family life are paralleled as multiple cohorts attempt to shape public policy, share scarce resources, educate and care for one another. These relationships, at both the family and cohort levels, bring not only challenges, but great opportunity for enriching lives and addressing perennial social problems. Although the focus of this paper is on the parent-child dyad across the adult lifespan, it is set in the context of rapid social change and provides themes and implications applicable at multiple levels.The quality of intergenerational relationships is affected by the structural circumstances of both parents and children (Umberson, 1992). In an effort to explore some of these circumstances, trends in marital satisfaction and parental well-being, divorce, and co-residence patterns will be reviewed. A second purpose of this paper is to suggest implications within an interdisciplinary framework, focusing on both scholarly application and professional practice. Finally, five broad themes are suggested, which not only characterize and summarize the current state of family intergenerational relationships, but may provide greater understanding of intergenerational relationships at the societal level.Parenting is indeed the first and primary intergenerational relationship, and it is unique in its permanence and involuntary nature (Umberson, 1992). If one generalization about parenting over the life course can be made, it is that it is dramatically changing. One source of this change is the duration of the relationship. Women who bear sons at age 25 today are more likely to have those sons alive when they are 80 (87 percent) than women in 1900 were to have their sons survive the first two years of life (82 percent). If that child is a daughter, a higher proportion will have survived at mother's age 90 (86 percent) than survived the first two years in 1900 (Uhlenberg, 19961). In a discussion of the implications of the aging of society, Dychtwald (1989) points out that ten percent of \"seniors\" have children over 65. These rather startling examples of current longevity illustrate that child-parent relationships spanning 50-plus years are becoming increasingly common (Rossi & Rossi, 1990). Additionally, at least half of these years is often spent with both generations as parents, which influences the nature of the relationship (Hagestad, 1988). Beyond the active parenting years for both generations, the mother-daughter relationship is particularly salient, as they often grow old together, with one or both being divorced or widowed (Wood, Traupmann & Hoy, 1984).While demographic factors make sustained relationships possible, economic, historic and social forces shape relationships and give them their unique texture. This combination of longevity and rapid social ","PeriodicalId":32430,"journal":{"name":"Michigan Family Review","volume":"04 1","pages":"17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77887925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
