Working With Custodial Grandparents

<p>Moving beyond simply describing the differences between custodial and noncustodial grandparents this volume places helping efforts with grandparents in theoretical empirical and pragmatic contexts. Stressing the importance of theoretically grounded interventions and empirically-based studies for the design implementation and funding of programs the chapters define an action-oriented approach toward changing the lives of grandparents and their grandchildren. Topics include: In what ways do support groups help; Caring for children with developmental disabilities; Predictors of psychological distress; Building parenting skills; and Strategies for solving everyday problems among others.</p>
