GrandsPlace Presently over 5 million children in the United States live with grandparents. Over one third (1.4 million) of these kids do so without their own parents living with them.* Countless other grandparents and other concerned relatives are dealing with situations in which they wish their grandchildren lived in safer, healthier environments.
GrandsPlace We are grandparents, foster parents, aunts, uncles and step-parents. All are of a generation that was looking towards retirement, towards relaxation and time with each other. But, because of varying situations in our lives, we have taken on the task, sometimes reluctantly, but always with love, of raising our children's children. This challenge has been presented to us, and we have accepted it.

When a Grandchild Has ADHD Grandparents have always had an important role in the life of a child or adolescent. When the child's parents work outside the home, a grandparent may be the daytime caregiver. In some cases, when the parent is unable to care for a child, the grandparent functions as a parent.
