About
Would you ever take a job without a job description, let alone one that requires a lifetime contract? Parents do this every day, and yet there is no instruction manual that offers achievable methods for containing and organizing the seemingly endless job of parenting. Finding a healthy balance between raising a human and being a human often feels impossible, but Julie Morgenstern shows you how to harness your own strengths and weaknesses to make the job your own. This revolutionary roadmap includes: a unique framework with eight quadrants that separates parenting responsibilities into actionable, manageable tasksfor the whole bumpy ride from cradle to college; simple strategies to stay truly present and focused, whether you?́?re playing with your kids, enjoying a meal with your significant other, or getting ahead on that big proposal for work; clever tips to make the most of in-between timejust 5-15 minutes of your undivided attention has a huge impact on kids; permission to take personal time without feeling guilty, and the science and case studies that show how important self-care is and how to make time for it.
