Mom's Research Center

Working moms face a diverse set of challenges and they vary widely depending on the ages of your children. Parents of infants must consider how returning to work impacts bonding and early-development along with finding a qualified, trustworthy day care professional. With school-age children, parents must consider the need for transportation and whether your decision affects the wide-range of extracurricular activities available to your child. These and a hundred other questions require thoughtful, serious discussion, but most can be managed with proper planning.

Different Needs: A Few Tips

  • Network: Talking with other parents who have children of a similar age may reveal new options and a wealth of advice.
  • Get Informed: From government reports to online postings to support groups, women can quickly and easily access helpful information about parenting at every stage of a child's development.
  • Talk With Your Child: Find out what's important to your child and how they feel about new developments. Their insight may reveal previously missed opportunities.
  • Be Innovative: Technology is creating new possibilities for moms—including career opportunities. Be aware of how new innovations can help you balance your work-life goals.
