Navigating family chronicles: a critical reflection on grandparents’ influence on grandchildren’s mental well-being
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Dear Editors, An article written by Padilah entitled ‘Grandparenting as therapy: how does it enhance resilience and mental well-being among older adults?’ claims that grandparenting not only enriches the emotional lives of older adults, but also serves as cognitive training and improves their coping mechanisms.1 Many studies hold similar opinions.2,3 However, few have captured the impact of grandparents caregiving on grandchildren’s mental health. Among the complex interplay of family dynamics, the role of grandparents in shaping the mental well-being of their grandchildren is a nuanced exploration. As times change, the wisdom and experience of older generations may not always align with the changing landscape of modern parenting. This narrative dives into critical reflections on the impact of grandparents influence on the mental resilience and development of their grandchildren. The experience and wisdom passed on from grandparents can be a source of stability in the lives of grandchildren. The importance of the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren is one of the driving factors for the good development of grandchildren.4 The warmth and care provided by grandparents is invaluable.5 It was found that shared leisure activities play an important role in strengthening relationships with the adult generation and are a means of transmitting values.6 However, in an era of rapid social change, grandparents may struggle to understand the contemporary needs of their grandchildren. Differences in worldview and values between generations7 can create conflict, potentially affecting the mental health of younger family members. Energy availability and physical deficits8 as well as negative emotions9 of grandparents can be barriers to providing needed support. Modern challenges such as technology, social media,10 academic turmoil11 and mental health12 can also be difficult for older generations to cope with, creating gaps in emotional parenting approaches. There are several potential consequences of grandparents care for grandchildren. Social isolation when grandchildren interact more in the family environment. The absence of interaction with peers and biological parents can impact the social and emotional development of the child.13 Even long-term behavioural impacts are experienced by children raised by their grandparents. It has been noted that grandchildren raised by foster grandparents have worse mental/behavioural problems compared with those raised by their parents during their teenage years.14 Grandparent caregiving has a complex impact on grandchildren’s mental health, with both positive and negative colours involved. The challenges that arise in this dynamic emphasize the need for a balance between tradition and openness to changing times. By forging positive interactions that combine the wisdom of grandparents’ heritage and adaptation to modern developments, we form a strong foundation for the mental health of generations to come. We have no conflicts of interest to disclose. The authors declared that no funding was received for this paper.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
