Caring Without Caving

For those struggling to assist their aging parents, while managing a career and family of their own, Vivian Greenberg's book is a treasure. Through her many years of real life experience, it becomes clear in these pages that Greenberg really understands the dynamics of older parents and their adult children. The author displays a balanced point of view, compassion for older adults and understanding for their children. The situations Greenberg describes are real and her advice is solid. Her advice to adult children: Don't condescend to your parents, regardless of their changing needs--but don't cave in either. You have a right to your own life, your own space, your own needs. For those who feel they are getting lost in the daily demands of elder caregiving, this book is a breath of fresh air.
