Synopsis
Praise for Work-Family Ready
“Work-Family Ready provides a unique resource specifically designed for parents navigating the wonderous and turbulent teenage years. Each author provides excellent and timely advice, all in a friendly, accessible tone.”—Jessica DeGroot, President and Founder, ThirdPath Institute
“As a parent of teenagers and a doctor running a family medical practice, I know that the teenage years are not easy for both teens and parents. The advice in this book can help families navigate these years in a happier, healthier way.”—Dr. Lee Morgentaler, Board Certified in Family Practice
“There are lots of resources for parents of young children, but Work-Family Ready fills an important gap providing easy access to help that parents of teens really need. You can read a chapter in 15 minutes before bed and have lots of great ideas to implement starting the next day.”—Melissa Davidson, Founder & Parenting Coach, Perceptive Parents
As children grow older, the demands on parents shift from physical care and constant supervision to emotional support, guidance, and logistical coordination. For working parents of preteens and teens, this phase brings challenges that require new strategies and a more flexible approach.
To help you with your work and teen-parenting demands, Work-Family Ready has been written by psychologists, family counselors, and other experts, most of whom are also navigating life while parenting teens. Other contributors include business school professors who have studied the intersection of work and family, HR professionals who have helped scores of employees navigate work-life challenges, and organizational consultants who have helped managers and employers better support their employees.
Inside you will find:
- Actionable advice on protecting family time from the creeping demands of work
- Time-management tips and ways to partner with your teen, co-parent, and others
- Guidance on constructing appropriate boundaries so that you can attend to work demands and advance in your career without neglecting things at home
- How to balance being a parent to a teen with other caregiving responsibilities.
- Perspectives on how workplaces and managers can be more supportive of employees facing work/teen challenges, how we can leverage these resources, and how we can support our coworkers and peers.
