Child welfare and adoption specialist Lindsay Garrett, LCSW, teaches
Millennials considering having kids how to emotionally prepare for
parenthood, determine their parenting style and values, and establish
sustainable support.
In your prime child-rearing years and mulling the question Am I ready
to have a baby? Millennials contemplating kids can now turn to Parent
Goals, a guide to emotional preparedness for parenthood. Child welfare
and adoption specialist Lindsay Garrett leverages her professional
expertise and experience as a new parent to lead readers through the
mental prep work needed before embarking on this important life choice.
Parent Goals is the book to turn to before you make the decision to
become a parent. Unlike other books on the topic that focus on pregnancy
and kids' life stages, Parent Goals outlines the most important--and
least explained--aspects of having children, including emotional
readiness, attachment theory, and determining your values as a parent.
In addition to offering advice and guidance, Parent Goals is the first
book to address the emergence of the co-parenting style popular with
Millennials, which involves a more equitable division of labor than we
have seen in previous generations. Garrett's down-to-earth and sometimes
cheeky writing style makes Parent Goals an accessible and engaging
read for the Millennial generation.
