From ScienceDaily: ‘Bedtime Battles: 1 in 4 Parents Say Their Child Can’t go to Sleep Because They’re Worried or Anxious‘’ "Many bedtime battles stem from children's after dark worries, suggests a new national poll. And while most families have bedtime rituals to help their little ones ease into nighttime, many rely on strategies that may increase sleep challenges long term, according to the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health. Overall, one in four parents describe getting their young child to bed as difficult -- and these parents are less likely to have a bedtime routine, more likely to leave on a video or TV show, and more likely to stay with their child until they're asleep.""

Announcing our 2024 Built to Thrive Summit Keynote Speaker, Joseph Fuller, Professor at Harvard Business School! Fuller’s research spans the many issues that will shape the future of work, including the workings of the “care economy” in the United States. One focus is the impact that caregiving obligations have on workers and their career paths, as well as the surprising implications for employers. He has developed a methodology for companies to use in assessing the economic impact of care-related benefits on their bottom line through voluntary turnover and absenteeism, among other impacts.

From abc/WFTS Tampa Bay: ‘Tax Credits Being Offered to Businessmen in Florida that Help Offset Costs of Child Care for Employees’ "There is a strong business case for companies to take action in the childcare conundrum. In fact, childcare can measurably improve outcomes. According to the KinderCare data, 74% say how a company supports employees who are parents reflects how it cares for its employees overall—and this is related to a strong employer brand and an organization’s ability to attract not only parents, but non-parents as well."
