“…Most of these men have high praise for their grandmothers who helped them stay on track and monitored their school attendance. Black females give similar reports attributing enormous favorable influence to their grandmothers (Strom, Heeder, & Strom, 2005). Nevertheless, when students advance to higher education, colleges generally do not have ways for families to remain influential and, thereby, deny a powerful source of motivation that students could be provided by loved ones.…”

“…They reported engaging routinely in more cultural practices that were conducive to increased family interactions by sharing particular family songs, rituals, and foods. Similarly, Strom, Carter, and Schmidt (2004) and Strom, Heeder, and Strom (2005) found more evidence for the strong interest and involvement of African American grandparents in their grandchildren's lives, who see themselves as a role model or teacher. Similarly, Kivett (1991) compared 51 Caucasian and 48 African American rural grandfathers.…”

While custodial grandparenting historically has been more prevalent among African Americans, kinship care is increasing nationally among all culturally diverse groups. Custodial grandparenting and kinship care are becoming more common among Latino and Native American cultures. However, there are few studies examining needs and issues faced by these relative caregivers, particularly grandparents. In‐depth interviews were conducted with Latino and Native American caregivers of one or more children. Interviews focused on the child's needs, caregiving issues, and the caregiver's impact on the children. Results indicate that both groups reported concerns involving finances and health of child; Native Americans noted legal custodial issues as critical. Latino caregivers reported having inadequate resources for the child's medical care; Native Americans reported legal aid as a significant need. Differential impact on children was reported: with Latinos, family and education, with Native Americans, cultural identity. The findings suggested differential needs, concerns, and impact among these diverse caregivers.

The purposes of this study were to (a) determine how three generations of females from the same families perceived the grandmothers, (b) identify strengths and learning needs of the grandmothers, and (c) recommend guidelines and curriculum themes to assist the grandmothers in adjusting to change. The 348 Taiwanese subjects included grandmothers (n ¼ 116), mothers (n ¼ 116), and teenage granddaughters (n ¼ 116).
