• Bring kids into the national caregiving conversation. Kids are caregivers too."
  
  
• Acknowledge the problem. Champion recognition from parents, communities, educators, politicians and healthcare providers that millions of caregiving youth exist.
  
  
• Innovate. Think out of the box. Exchange ideas and partner to build programs to identify, support, and reward caregiving youth.
  
  
• Create Reference Resources. Prove that this is a huge emerging issue. Post a curated list of facts, articles, videos, studies and statistics about kids who have caregiving roles in their homes. This website is a reference tool about the problem.
  ​
• Get the grown-ups to pay attention & get them on board to help.
