Team Parenting Through Back-to-School Chaos : A Conversation with Eli Johnson

NextGen Work Culture: HR, Management, Inclusive Parent-Friendly Work Environment, Employee Recruitment and Retention, Talent Development

How does your family tackle the chaos that is the beginning of the school year? Join me as I chat with Eli, a dad of three, about how he and his wife deal with the whirlwind of pickups, locations, and people they juggle to get the kids to school and daycare, all while managing their professional lives as a marketer and teacher.

We talk about how to navigate the intricacies of balancing work, parenting, and self-care. A supportive boss who understands the unique needs of a parent and a flexible workplace play a large role in being able to manage drop-offs, pick-ups, and even sick kids.

We explore the significance of communication and trust between partners, elements that are particularly crucial when both are stretched to their limits. We also reflect on the struggle of parenting while preserving our individuality. We discuss the importance of self-reflection, maintaining a sense of self, and the necessity of taking time for personal care.

Eli talks about the course for parents that he and his wife co-wrote. Learn more about 'Team Parenting: The Toddler Years' at www.goodbonesunited.com
