Description:
In the eight years that Barbara Meltz has been writing her "Child Caring" column for The Boston Globe (syndicated to 50 papers nationwide via The New York Times newswire), she's discovered that what readers most inquire about are the everyday issues that can blindside even the most prepared parent. When people think of events that are stressful for children, they tend to cite hot topics like divorce, death in the family, unemployment, or moving. But when psychologists ask children what they consider stressful, the answers are startlingly different: sleepovers, a boy-girl party, or staying home alone after school.

Addressing these day-to-day kinds of issues in the same knowing, compassionate manner that makes her column so successful, Meltz uses a combination of real-life situations and expert advice. By including issues that transcend age, such as dealing with birthdays, summer vacations, school, as well as the bigger issues that can come along, "Put Yourself In Their Shoes" is as useful to the parent of a two-year-old as it is to the parent of an eleven-year-old.
