Recent and Upcoming Items

Sorry, again, for the delay in posting.   It's been a very busy few weeks, but very good ones for the parenting-at-work concept.

The Arizona Daily Star printed a long article about babies at work:
Office shows that it can work for tots, moms, co-workers

The Parenting in the Workplace Institute was featured in a piece on the Today Show on January 31, 2008:
Bringing Babies to Work

Then, on February 3, 2008, the NBC Nightly News aired a similar piece which also featured the Institute: 
Can't Part?  Take Your Baby to Work

A widely-watched variety show in Brazil, Fantastico, is planning to air a piece in the next few days on babies in the workplace which will include the Institute. 

What I find most exciting about all this is that the concept of babies in the workplace is finally starting to be recognized as a viable concept--one that might have widespread applicability.  There is obviously still a large proportion of society that is very skeptical of the idea, but part of the Institute's work is to help to overcome that skepticism through evidence--such as by helping major companies to start successful baby programs.

The increasing support for the Institute and for the possibilities of parenting in the workplace is going to enable me to devote a lot more time to this work in upcoming days, so posting here will be a lot more regular.
