What America’s Children Really Think About Working Parents, (William Morrow, $25) by Ellen Galinsky, reports the findings of a study of 1,000 3rd through 12th graders. From their perspective, the thing they desire most is that their parents would bring less stress home from work, and they want parents to focus more on them when the family is together. And when parents try to hide stress, kids are not fooled¾they read their parents moods very well.
