Children Caregivers

This article discusses the growing number of children in the United States who are providing care for a disabled relative or aging grandparent. The accompanying video segment shows one program, the Caregiving Youth Project in Florida, which offers weekend camps to give children a respite from their caregiving duties, as well as teaching them caregiving skills.

A blogger at MojoMom reacts to the article and urges more conversation about the role of children caregivers.
