Over the past few years there has been a surge of interest in
Britain on grandparenting - although it is still a long way behind
the USA and several European countries in research in the area. The
driving impetus for research is coming from parenting organizations
and government departments concerned about the effects on female
employment of shortages in nursery places, and about the effect of
"parenting deficits" on children. Greater involvement of
grandmothers in caring for children has seemed to offer a solution
to many related problems. It promises to improve care within the
family, and enable mothers to take on paid work with fewer fears
for the consequences, without removing other working adults in the
family from their jobs. This text discusses how today's
grandmothers are changing the image and role that they filled in
the past.
