WHY:       A growing number of adults are caring for children and aging
           parents. Sometimes called the "Sandwich Generation," they are
           often hesitant and unsure about elder care and overwhelmed by
           competing responsibilities. The UL Family Safety 2008 editorial
           package offers Sandwich Generation members and their families
           resources for incorporating safety into their lives while
           maintaining a manageable work/life balance.
