HOW TO AVOID THE MOMMY TRAP: A ROADMAP FOR SHARING PARENTING AND MAKING IT WORK (CAPITAL IDEAS) By Julie Shields - Hardcover **Mint Condition**.

About this product

Product Information

Typically, when a woman gets pregnant, she considers whether to give up or cut back on her career, or surrender her child to daycare or a nanny. Now families have other alternatives. Fathers can stay home, work flexibly, go part-time, or help out so stay-at-home-mothers enjoy personal fulfillment too. Prepared women can choose the lives they want by following the common sense prescriptions in "How to Avoid the Mommy Trap." Julie Shields interviewed marital counselors, childcare workers, negotiation experts, employers, child development experts, and parents to find out how to create a family balance. How to Avoid the Mommy Trap emphasizes real-life solutions and strategies, and highlights common missteps. Weaving research and anecdote together, Julie Shields demonstrates the value and efficacy of a new parenting paradigm - sharing. This sensible primer is for every parent thinking about having children but wondering if and how to balance work, parenthood, and life.

Reviews
"When Shields started researching and writing her book "How to Avoid the Mommy Trap: A Roadmap for Sharing Parenting and Making It Work'' (Capital Books, $26.95), she found that one-third to one-half of new parents experience as much marital distress as couples in therapy for marital problems." Featured in The Pressured Parent Column of The Record (Hackensack, NJ) by Mary Amoroso "The new book emphasizes real-life solutions and strategies and highlights common missteps." Rochester Democrat & Chronicle "According to Julie Shields, author of the book How to Avoid the Mommy Trap: A Roadmap for Sharing Parenting and Making it Work, when she gave birth to her daughter, she fell into the mommy trap....Shields suggest allowing fathers to get involved with their infants as soon as possible. She also suggests giving your husband a chance. Most women want their husbands to help out, but then they criticize everything they do. Be nice to your husband. Compliment him when he does a good job, and encourage him to feel comfortable as a parent." Maria Luisa Salcines , The Monitor (TX) "... a primer for couples considering marriage who need to determine if they are truly compatible, for expectant mothers worried about both baby and career commitments, couples who need new working arrangements, and, as noted above everyone looking for answers to make everything work for all involved." Bookview.com "'How To Avoid The Mommy Trap' is already making an impression on parents and becoming a popular gift at wedding showers." Columbus Dispatch "'How to Avoid the Mommy Trap: A Roadmap for Sharing Parenting and Making It Work,' discusses the virtues of parental parity and how to get it. " Palm Beach Post "Julie Shields's new book, 'How to Avoid the Mommy Trap,' is full of practical suggestions about encouraging a father to share the day-to-day child care tasks, improving the entire family's quality of life. Shields encourages men and women to discuss work and family issues before marriage. Before getting pregnant a couple should look into child care, research employer's family policies and secure flexible work schedules. Maternity leave, paternity leave, flextime, telecommuting and working from home are all options that can make work and family life easier. 'How to Avoid the Mommy Trap' provides a step-by-step guide of how to negotiate a flexible schedule with your employer. If finances or company policies don't allow the father to work reduced hours, you can work out a regular arrangement of time off whenever it makes life easier." Washington Parent
