Reviewed by Katherine Parsons, Information Literacy Outreach Librarian, Bronx Community CollegeThis program consists of four sections providing advice from seasoned parents on how to cope and deal with various aspects of parenting: Entrepreneur Mom I – after being on maternity leave for nine months, a new mom shares her feelings about returning back to work; Entrepreneur Mom II – a new mother discovers a new career as a home day care provider; Moms Who Work vs. At Home Moms – both working and stay at-home moms candidly discuss their feelings about each situation, and whether they work or not they express the same feelings of guilt, jealousy and envy; Stage Parent – a father discusses how some parents try to live through their babies by auditioning them for commercials.
The benefit of the section entitled Stage Parent is questionable, however, the first three sections of this program are highly recommended to working mothers. Other titles in the Parenting Today: Planet Parent Series will also prove valuable to new parents.
