An all-in-one resource for every working mother and father. Sure,
there are plenty of parenting books out there. But as working moms
and dads, we've never had a trusted, go-to guide all our
own—one that coaches us on how to do well at work, be the
loving and engaged parents we want to be, and remain true to
ourselves in the process. Enter Workparent. Whether you're planning
a family, pushing for promotion during your kids' teenage years, or
at any phase in between, Workparent provides all the advice and
assurance you'll need to combine children and career in your own,
authentic way. Whatever your field or family structure, you'll
learn how to: Find a childcare arrangement you fully trust Build a
strong support team, at home and on the job Advocate for
advancement—and flexibility Step up at work while keeping
your family healthy and whole Tame guilt, self-doubt, worry, and
other difficult emotions Navigate big transitions: the return from
leave, a promotion or job change, or the arrival of a second child
Manage day-to-day pressures, like scheduling, mealtimes, homework,
and more Find—and really use—time off Feel more
capable, calm, and in control Written by Daisy Dowling, a top
executive coach, talent expert, and working mom, Workparent answers
all of your questions and feels like a good talk with your favorite
mentor. Finally, the handbook you need to thrive as a working
parent.
Manage the competing demands of working motherhood. As a working
mother you often draw the short straw. You carry most of the burden
of caregiving and household chores, and your career suffers because
of it. Bosses and coworkers assume that since you're focused on
your family, you don't prioritize work. But choosing your job over
your kids' extracurricular and school commitments means letting
down the people you love most. Advice for Working Moms can help you
alleviate this tension. Drawing on the wisdom of experts and
parents alike, it will help you strike the right balance between
family and work so that you can prioritize what matters most to you
and feel fulfilled in all areas of your life. You'll learn to: Let
go of working-mom guilt and that constant "overwhelmed" feeling

a parent, and as a family member. Getting It All Done can't teach
you to be in two places at once, but it provides you with expert
