Review of Stay-At-Home Handbook (Paperback)

Cheryl Gochnauer does it again.Her insight into the life of a stay-at-home mom shines through this book in so many ways.There isn't a facet she doesn't touch on, whether it's finances, helping other moms who are struggling (being their Godsend), keeping your sanity through those long days, school cancellations woes, and overcoming the need to "do it all."

There's a foreword by Dr. Laura Schlessinger that sheds a VERY interesting light on a stay-at-home vs. working-outside-the-home lifestyle.

This book should be on the bookshelf of every parent....

Product Description
Is your "home number" your "work number" too?If you are a stay-at-home parent, you know the workday never really ends. And every day brings both all-too-familiar challenges and unexpected joys. How do you keep it together--physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually?Cheryl Gochnauer's previous book, So You Want to Be a Stay-at-Home Mom, helped parents consider what staying home requires and whether that choice was the best for them and their families. In this new guidebook Gochnauer tackles common--but often difficult--questions and challenges that beset stay-at-home parents:

  • retaining an individual identity
  • feeling appreciated
  • viewing childrearing as a valid career choice
  • spending wisely
  • resisting guilt
  • evaluating work-at-home opportunities
  • handling sibling rivalry
  • volunteering at your child's school
  • succeeding as a stay-at-home dad
  • avoiding the TV
  • getting help with chores
  • setting a godly example
  • nurturing your spiritual growth
Forty-two brief chapters cover a variety of topics and can each be read in about ten minutes. Gochnauer also includes an appendix on networking opportunities for stay-at-home parents and a helpful listing of ministries and organizations that offer parenting resources, services and conferences (all accessible on the Internet).If you are a mom or dad at home part-time or full-time, you'll find immense encouragement--plus practical advice from one who has been there (and still is!)--in Stay-at-Home Handbook.
