Is concerned about son's pet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caress

'pet' is the definition.
(I know this)

'is concerned about son's' is the wordplay.
'is concerned about' becomes 'cares'.
'cares'+'s'='CARESS'

(Other definitions for caress that I've seen before include "Stoke affectionately" , "pet" , "Stroke lovingly" , "Gentle loving touch" , "Pat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
