Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The central conflict in women's lives today, the author notes, is between working and caring. Pragmatic and efficient in the workplace, a woman must be flexible in providing the time and care necessary in raising a child. Professor at Harvard Medical School and chief of the Child Development Unit at Boston Children's Hospital, Brazelton has much experience of the working/caring conflict and here examines ways to resolve it, offering commonsense guidelines along with a pediatrician's expertise. There are critical stages of mothering, and returning to a job must be very carefully timed, he explains. A "more involved and more motivated" father is crucial to a child's development and to anchoring today's "families without a culture" in stability. Advice on choosing day care, handling crises, dealing with pressure, illness, and the ever-present lack of time is interspersed with compelling narratives of three families who confront the working/caring problem. This is a valuable book, made so by its realistic, intelligent approach. Author tour. October 28

From Library Journal

Another excellent book from the renowned Harvard pediatrician. He focuses here on working parents and the issues they confront: choosing day care, timing the return to work, and finding strength and time to work and raise a family successfully. He covers the difficulties involved by introducing the reader to three families: a professional couple having their first child in their mid-thirties, a working class couple expecting their second child, and a single mother and her baby daughter. In a warm and chatty style Brazelton describes policies he hopes to see implemented as the number of working parents increases. They include paid maternity leave for four months, paid paternity leave for one month, and disability leave for family illness. Highly recommmended. Debra Berlanstein, Towson State Univ. Lib., Baltimore

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, August 30, 2006
This review is from: Working And Caring (Paperback)
This book had good pointers and tips for returning to work, including the things to look for in a childcare provider. I'm a first time mother, and it broke my heart to return to work leaving her when she was 4 months old. This book raises and addresses issues unique to the career woman/mother situation, making that transition easier.
