About this title

Synopsis

The term "Baby Boom Generation" has been coined to describe the more than 78 million people born between 1943 and 1964. This generation is the largest and most influential ever seen in one demographic group. Its influences are broad-reaching and far-flung. As this group is aging, it is finding that the time, energy, money, and emotions allocated toward careers, spouses, kids, parents, friends, and themselves is constantly shrinking. Nevertheless, they find themselves juggling their obligations to work, their parents, themselves, their children. This juggling act requires finesse, knowledge of current trends and issues, and a healthy dose of advice.

From the Back Cover

All the essential information every Baby Boomer needs to know.

Our Children: What should I do if I suspect my child is experimenting with drugs? What does my adopted child have a right to know about her birth parents? What do I need to know about the Internet to be an informed parent? Our Parents: What do I need to know about my parents' health care options? Does age really affect my parents' physical and mental state? How do Social Security, Medicare, and other government programs affect my parents and family? Ourselves: Am I too old to have a child? How do I get started in planning my retirement? What services can help me be an effective caregiver for my children and parents?
