The role of a grandparent is hard to define. It can mean anything from someone who makes the best cookies or tells the best stories to someone who provides care when needed. Today some grandparents are finding themselves in a role they never expected to be in - the role of raising their grandchild. Regardless of the role a grandparent finds themselves in, the following resources and information may be helpful.
