Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study investigated the moderating effect of grandmothers’ parenting practices on the marital adjustment of dual-income parents and the behavioral problems of their preschool children.
Methods: The sample included 106 working mothers with preschool children (aged 4 or 5) who were receiving childcare support from grandmothers.
Results: Regression analysis revealed that parental marital satisfaction and grandmothers’ parenting practices both had additive main effects on children’s behavior problems, independent of each other. Further, the moderating effect of grandmothers was detected in the relationship between marital adaptation and the children’s behavior problems.
Conclusion: When working with dual-income families with preschoolers showing behavior problems, family therapists need to adopt a family systems perspective and intervene in both the couple subsystem and the grandparent-grandchild subsystem.
