Grand Caregiving

Grand caregiving refers to the often essential and ongoing support that grandparents provide to their grandchildren, which can include emotional guidance, financial assistance, childcare, and mentorship. This role goes beyond traditional parenting, helping to strengthen family bonds, promote stability, and contribute to a child's development. Grand caregiving can vary widely in scope and intensity, influenced by family situations and individual capabilities, and it plays a vital part in many family systems by offering love, stability, and life experience to younger generations.
