 s parents today, we are all united
in seeking a healthy, reliable home environment for our children
to grow in. How lucky we are to be living in an age where this
goal is finally being realized by so many. According to IDC/Link,
a market research firm based in New York, there are presently
15 million work-at-home parents in the U.S. alone. These parents
are finding out that they can merge traditional family values
with progressive career goals to enjoy a lifestyle rich in both
emotional and financial security.
The Technology/Information Age
has ushered in a whole new era of work-family unity — not seen since the Agricultural Age over a hundred
years ago. As a new generation of parents, we certainly have
our share of new workforce worries (with job insecurity topping
the list), but we also have outstanding opportunities!
By sharing information, experiences and resources through such
a global connection as we have here, we can work together to
realize the dream every parent, throughout history, has strived
for.
Here at Your
Family, we have articles contributed by parenting, child
care and work-family experts, as well as essays written by a
wide spectrum of everyday parents struggling with and conquering
their work-family goals. You'll learn alternatives to those long
days of paid child care, how to partner up with your spouse whether
or not s/he is directly involved with your home career, and what
it takes to keep those home fires burning at the same time you're
making money for all that firewood!
We also encourage you to Discuss Amongst Yourselves
the joys and challenges of the day, or ask
questions about your family-related concerns. Enjoy your
visit and come back soon to learn more, contribute to the discussion,
or see who else has joined

Parenthood
