Summer is officially here and for working moms, the puzzle of putting together childcare with school being out is a job in itself. Summer camps seem to operate on 1/2 day increments or weekly vs. a whole summer-long 8 am to 5 pm program. The pressure to make summer fun after the last 16 months adds to the mental load of strategically mapping out vacation time and the summer calendar.
Join Ashley and Kimberly as they share their perspective of summer for working moms, what childcare looks like, and how to release expectations to simplify childcare.

Beyond seeing history repeat itself time and time again, people advocating for the quality and affordability of childcare has been occurring since the early 1900's.
Instead of childcare, the idea of mother pensions came about so that women could stay at home with their children. It quickly gained popular support because it did nothing to challenge traditional gender roles. By the 1930's, every state in the union passed some level of a mother pension law, but by doing this, childcare was pushed further into the shadows. However, most mothers found themselves ineligible for pensions and had no choice but to find work and some form of care for their children.
The Children's Bureau worked to strengthen mothers' pensions instead of shifting the focus to childcare. At the urging of prominent early childhood educators, programs were established called emergency nursery schools (ENS) because more women were being recruited to do defense-work due to WWII. Nonetheless, several thousands of these schools closed down because teachers left for better paying jobs. As ENS's closed, women had no choice but to leave their children alone at home or allow them to sleep in cars while they worked night shifts. The media capitalized on these situations and reported "selfish-wage earning mothers" and "children in group care may suffer the effects of maternal deprivation."
By 1946, the Maternal and Child Welfare Act was proposed and not passed. It would have allowed the continuing of federal funding for daycares. Instead, the government allotted a Child Tax Deduction. No government administration has been able to push through a universal childcare policy.
In the 1980's, for-profit childcares began to emerge as more women began to re-enter the workforce, however there were issues with quality and affordability. This is the underlying theme to this day.
So, what does good childcare reform look like?
Ashley and Kimberly have an extensive discussion on where we go from here, including an
Imposter syndrome disproportionately impacts high achieving people. The more accomplished you are, the less deserving you often feel. Why?
Becoming a mother can impact feelings of belonging. Ashley and Kimberly deconstruct the workplace and review why we don't see as many female leaders.
Anywhere in the world, men tend to think they're smarter than women. However, arrogance and over-confidence is inversely related to leadership talent. Confidence does not equal competence.
Sometimes we get these feelings in the office, but other times it surrounds motherhood. Overcoming imposter syndrome is possible. Ashley and Kimberly talk about times they've felt like an imposter and how they moved forward and how you can, too.

Are you ready to hang up your WFH status and head back to the office?
People are having a lot of feelings and opinions regarding our ability to work from home versus a need to return to the office. Ashley and Kimberly review the pro's and con's of getting back into the office and some research behind the advantages and disadvantages of both options.

Although we are getting things under control here in the U.S., we want to send our hearts out to India. Via Susanna Barkataki:
"Right now India is experiencing an exponential and devastating COVID 19 surge.
We have linked in bio some organizations that do work on the ground with those most impacted. This is an open source list created with resources from Indians in India and in the diaspora with the intention of getting as much aid to India as possible so please share."
