As children grow older, the demands on parents shift from physical care and constant supervision to emotional support, guidance, and logistical coordination. For working parents of preteens and teens, this phase brings challenges that require new strategies and a more flexible approach.

Other contributors include business school professors who have studied the intersection of work and family, HR professionals who have helped scores of employees navigate work-life challenges, and organizational consultants who have helped managers and employers better support their employees. Inside you will find: Actionable advice on protecting family time from the creeping demands of work Time-management tips and ways to partner with your teen, co-parent, and others Guidance on constructing appropriate boundaries so that you can attend to work demands and advance in your career without neglecting things at home How to balance being a parent to a teen with other caregiving responsibilities. Perspectives on how workplaces and managers can be more supportive of employees facing work/teen challenges, how we can leverage these resources, and how we can support our coworkers and peers.
