How do different generations of caregivers show a young child affection?
The focus here is expressions of warmth or rejection in caregiving by grandparents and great-grandparents.
Who was studied?
194 primary caregivers of infants and toddlers in a study of older-generation care
Age / stage: 6–36 months
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate expressions of warmth or rejection in caregiving by grandparents and great-grandparents?
- Whose report describes the parent, the child and the outcome, and where might those reports differ?
- Which generation reported on the older caregiver’s warmth and which generation was directly assessed?
Keep the limits in view
The cross-sectional assessments cover children aged six to 36 months. They cannot establish the sequence of an intergenerational pathway.
