Parenting before & after work: Making the most of your family's time together - John & Carol Dettoni

Giving your kids a good home - even when you're not there all the time

Be honest. Working parents have two full-time jobs (one with a paycheck, one without) and often not enough hours or energy to do both of them well. So the kids suffer. The job suffers. The house suffers. The parents suffer...guilt, fatigue, stress, frustration. 

Can working moms and dads, single or married, raise well-adjusted children amid such a hectic lifestyle? Of course, they can. But it does take a bit of extra creativity, organization, and flexibility (not to mention the grace of God!) to pull it off.

John and Carol Dettoni offer Bible-based principles, current research, and their own dual-career experiences to give today's Christian working parents a realistic approach to successfully managing life on the homefront. They deal with such issues as:

• The research we work
• Our roles as parents
• Setting priorities
• Understanding childhood growth and development - physical, intellectual, social and spiritual
• Child care
• The "mommy" track
• "Teleparenting"
• Making time for self and spouse

Whether your children are toddlers or teenagers, this book will provide you with the information and encouragement to be the best parents you can be - before, during, and after work.
