- Raising grandkids : inside skipped-generation families / by Garrison, Gary.;
Includes bibliographical references.Focusing on grandparent headed households, Gary Garrison examines his own experience as a caregiver to his step-grandchildren and the experiences of others in similar situations, to paint a picture of grandparents who have put their lives on hold to raise their children's children. Grandparents have particular challenges in this situation, as they often have to battle their own children for custody, deal with pressures from caseworkers, negotiate their own health and financial issues, and address the guilt and resentment they may feel towards the missing son or daughter who conceived the children now in their care. As well, many fear their grandchildren will be taken away, which keeps them silent and isolated. This fear can be particularly profound for Indigenous grandparents, who bear intergenerational wounds of racism and colonialism as they struggle to create a better future for themselves and their grandchildren.Introduction: Grandparents into the breach -- The CANGRANDs campout: a great-grandmother's love leaps three generation gaps -- Child welfare: keep out! -- The pride of grandparents: a support group meets -- Foster care: parenting by the dozen -- Healing from broken attachments -- A family dinner: triggers on the menu -- Indigenous grandparenting: one food in every canoe -- On the reserve -- Dances with ants -- A three-generation brain dance -- Raising a skipped-generation FASD child -- In the line of fire: shell shock and self-care -- I survive, I rescue, I organize: the roaring grandma -- Thank you, grandma -- Caseworkers' conflicting priorities: closing files vs. helping children -- Grandparents and the survival of the species.- Subjects: Grandparents as parents.; Grandparenting.; Grandparent and child.; Grandchildren; Parenting.;
