Today, approximately 1.6 million American children live in what
social scientists call "grandfamilies"-households in which children
are being raised by their grandparents. In You've Always Been There
for Me, Rachel Dunifon uses data gathered from grandfamilies in New
York to analyze their unique strengths and distinct needs. Though
grandfamilies can benefit from the accumulated wisdom of mature
adults raising children for a second time, Dunifon notes, such
families also face high rates of health problems as well as
parenting challenges related to a large generation gap.
Grandfamilies are also largely hidden in American society, flying
under the radar of social service agencies, policymakers, and
family researchers. This book gives family researchers a greater
understanding of a unique family form, and also offers service
providers, policymakers and the general public important
information about the lives of an important group of American
families.
