“The Home Office Parent takes a realistic look at the challenges facing work-at-home parents of young children. One of the most compelling points in the book is the understandingthat young children need their parents' emotional presence, not just their physical presence, and Jennifer Kalita offers advice on how to achieve this. Children are about relationships, and they don't easily understand business or the work stresses their parents may face. Jennifer shows empathy for both home office parents and their young children.

This book offers a number of helpful survival strategies. One key tip she discusses is the importance of establishing clear parameters for yourself and others so as to eliminate confusion over roles, expectations and needs. In 25 years of early childhood development work, we’ve witnessed a growing understanding of the importance of a child’s first years. Now, home-office parents have a guide to help them support these early years and achieve success in their businesses.”
