The article cites a study conducted by researcher Rachel Dunifon which discusses the role of grandparents in single-parent families. Many studies have shown that children living in a single-parent family tend to do worse academically and receive less intellectual stimulation than children. Having a grandparent in the home, however, appears to buffer some of these negative effects, according to a new study in the College of Human Ecology. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, Dunifon found that living with a single mother is linked to significant declines in academic achievement. In contrast, the test scores of children who live in single-mother families that also contain a grandparent do not significantly differ from children in married-couple families.
