The psychological effect on grandchildren when being raised by their grandparents

The focus of this study was to investigate psychological effect on grandchildren when

they are being raised by their grandparents. Considerable research has been done on the
psychological effect on the grandparents, but very little on the effects on grandchildren,
especially in South Africa.


By means of a mainly qualitative investigation, empirical data were collected through informal
discussions, observations and projection media from four families and seven grandchildren in total.


The findings yielded a number of common themes among all the grandchildren, and yet
others showed the influence of the attitude of the grandparents towards the situation. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Guidance and counseling)
