The decision to return to the workplace, no matter what your child’s age, requires careful planning and attention to the emotions this change can arouse for parents and children. And if you’re a prospective parent looking ahead to parental leave, it’s not a minute too soon to think about how to prepare for this transition, both at work and at home. Beth Quist, Director of Lifetrack’s Employee and Family Education Services, has spent her career helping families integrate parenting and employment successfully. She brings a wealth of practical guidance and encouragement to this week’s discussion with Marti & Erin!
