As a parent, you wear all the hats: doctor, disciplinarian, dietician, counselor, coach, entertainer, educator, etc. How about "career counselor?" For most parents, that hat doesn't fit as comfortably. Many parents feel the extent of their career guidance is confined to, "You'll be good at whatever you want to do." While such words are thoughtful, they lack substance. More importantly, they fail to consider the creative and necessary steps, activities, and tools that eventually make for a meaningful and successful career path.Having a Job Just Like Recess provides those tools. The book offers ideas and insights for parents at any age. You'll identify real-time career options consistent with your child's profile. Mostly importantly, you'll discover that each of us-parent and child-is part of God's creation whose greater purpose can be fulfilled through our vocation.Parents will find its easy-to-read style anything but work. In fact, the book makes the career planning process fun and invigorating-just like recess!
