About the Book
This book’s unique advantage is that it does not argue either side of
the debate on whether a mother should or should not stay home. What it
does is, accepts that the mother works and then goes on to suggest
activities that can be sought and participated in during the “off” hours.
The information presented is intended to be a stimulus to invoke further
thought and possible actions, it is not a one size fits all, and as such
may not be everyone’s solution, but hopefully all will find some
helpful tip-bits that were not thought of before. The activities
suggested in the book are stimulating, and were selectively chosen to encourage
the love of learning and to develop a thirst for reading. Although
the activities are predominantly geared toward the toddler and smaller
children, the general principles should and can be applied to the older
child. Specifics are provided on how to make bath time, mealtime and everyday
activities fun. Readers will realize that it does not have to cost a lot
to educate their children, and, while working they can also spend valuable
time with them. What the book does not do is suggest parenting techniques
or strategies for discipline, that it up to the parents; it just presents
different options for activities that could lead to sharing more quality
time; time that parents may not even have known they had.
