Balancing Family and Work
• Must balance
• Must work to supply income to meet family needs
• Working a necessity, not an option
• Managing responsibilities can be challenging
![Page 3: Unit 5 - Positively Guiding Children and Resources and Policies Chapter 18 - Family Concerns AND Chapter 19 - Family Crises Parents and Their Children.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020417/56649f2c5503460f94c46f92/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Single parent family - one must take on all responsibilities– only source of income– only adult responsible for providing care– stressful for all
![Page 4: Unit 5 - Positively Guiding Children and Resources and Policies Chapter 18 - Family Concerns AND Chapter 19 - Family Crises Parents and Their Children.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020417/56649f2c5503460f94c46f92/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Dual-career families– two people share responsibilities– able to divide responsibilities– must juggle two schedules
![Page 5: Unit 5 - Positively Guiding Children and Resources and Policies Chapter 18 - Family Concerns AND Chapter 19 - Family Crises Parents and Their Children.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020417/56649f2c5503460f94c46f92/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Benefits of working parents
• Research indicates:– children of dual-career families are more
independent and achievement oriented– children are more social
• Stay-at-home parents– may stifle children’s attempts at independence

Divorce

• Tell children together
• Reinforce that child is still loved and that parents can work together as parents
• No not lie to children
