The purpose of this study is to investigate the daily life of low-income grandparent-headed families
and identify the effects of the Edu-Care program. To this end, the researcher conducted focus group
interviews with ten grandparents and ten grandchildren who participated in the adjustment program,
which was implemented for about five months. After participating in the program, the grandparents
perceived that their skills for educating and raising children were improved and that they
experienced psychological stability. Meanwhile, the grandchildren perceived that their learning
competency and motivation for learning were enhanced and recognized why learning is necessary for
their career. It was also found that the conditions and experiences needed for low-income
grandparent-headed families are an integrative support program, a differentiated curriculum, and aid
and care provided by human resources.
