Abstract
Guided by the life course approach and the Ecology of Family Experience (EFE) framework, this qualitative study demonstrates how grandparent couples engaged in family leisure with their grandchildren. Through constructivist grounded theory methodology, this study explored the impacts of life course dimensions on grandparent couples’ experiences with family leisure. Semi-structured interviews with 20 individuals (60–75 years of age) from 10 grandparent couples were analyzed at the couple level. Grandparent couples shared how life course dimensions, including chronological age, sociocultural time, and family timing factors, impacted their family leisure experiences. This study supports the relevance of the EFE framework by focusing on similar dimensions with a precision on the role of life course factors on choosing family leisure experiences.
