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.
