Customer Reviews

Great Information for all working mothers

This book has great information about all aspects of being a working mother, from when to tell the boss you're pregnant to how to deal with "latch-key kids". Covers all of the most important elements in a sympathetic, realistic manner. Very highly recommended for everyone who is a working mother or thinking about becoming one.

Great practical, thoughtful advice for working parents

Since 1989 the authors of the UCLA Working Parents Newsletter have offered practical advice, solutions and ideas to working parents. The book expands their work and adds personal vignettes from real parents. Emotional issues are discussed, including separation anxiety -- both the child's and the parents' -- in such a way that you realize there are no simple solutions and many parents feel the same way you do. All working parents can benefit from the years of research and parental wisdom that have gone into this book
