"Vorgelegt werden die Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Befragung von Großeltern, die regelmäßig eines oder mehrere Enkelkinder betreuen. Ausgehend von dem Vorwurf, daß Großeltern die Enkelkinder verwöhnen, werden Handlungsmuster und ihre solidarischen Leistungen für die jüngere Generation herausgearbeitet. Die 20 befragten Großeltern betreuen ihre zwei- bis neunjährigen Enkelkinder an einem oder mehreren Tagen pro Woche während der Abwesenheit der Eltern. Die wörtlichen Transkripte der Interviews wurden inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet. Sie weisen auf einen verantwortlichen Umgang mit den Enkelkindern hin. Der allgemeine Verwöhnungsvorwurf kann nicht bestätigt werden. Vielmehr unterstützen Großeltern die elterliche Erziehung bewußt, wenngleich sie in bestimmten Situationen höhere Toleranzschwellen aufweisen." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"The purpose of this article is to present the results of semi-structured interviews with grand-parents who regularly look after one or more grandchildren. Grandparents’ behavioural pat-terns and their efforts in support of the younger generation were investigated to test the basic assumption that they pamper their grandchildren. The 20 grandparents interviewed look after their 2- to 9-year-old grandchildren one or more days per week while the parents are absent. The literal transcriptions of these interviews were evaluated by means of a qualitative content analysis. They indicate that the grandparents behave responsibly with respect to their grand-children’s upbringing. The general accusation that they pamper their grandchildren was not confirmed. Instead, despite a higher tolerance level in certain situations, the grandparents con-sciously support the efforts of the parents." (author's abstract)... view less
