Parenting While Working from Home: A Monthly Guide to Help Parents Balance Their Careers, Connect with Their Kids, and Establish Their Inner Strength

Tunis and Medini, founders of the parenting advice website Adore Them Parenting, deliver an encouraging guide on thriving as a parent while working from home. The book is divided into the months of the year, with each month focusing on a topic, among them professional communication, time management, and decluttering. April’s chapter, for example, is about improving a parent’s confidence (by adopting, for instance, self-assured body language), setting healthy expectations for children (by explaining rules for new environments such as playdates or the store), and making a kid-friendly home to encourage independence (such as giving a young child the responsibility of getting their own snacks). Tunis and Medini write with compassion and frame even hard days in a positive light: “We want to train our brains to see the bright side.” The authors successfully make the case that parenting while working from home, rather than being merely possible, can be a positive experience. Parents will finish the book feeling inspired and empowered. (Jan.)
