A non-comparative design and mixed-methods approach was used to examine the resilience and wellbeing of 20 children in the full-time care of their grandparents. A self-report measure of self-concept and emotional wellbeing, and a semi-structured interview were used to explore the personal experiences and impact of children living with their grandparents. Scores derived from the self-report measure indicated that the children's self-worth and emotional health were within the range expected of children of comparative age and sex. Qualitative data, however, suggested a complex emotional environment and a continuum of responses. Analysis revealed three themes that captured broad issues around Emotional health, Material factors, Current issues and Past experiences and Coping strategies. The results of the study reveal the ongoing concerns associated with the children's family circumstances, as well as the notable adaptation and resilience of the children in managing their life experiences.
