Reviewers agreeAsk the Children is an important new tool for all parents:

"This important book makes it clear that children have accepted the changes in work and family life today.... It emphasizes how important it is to share your work with your child."

T.Berry Brazelton, M.D.

"[A] landmark study�a useful resource that provides a new framework and practical suggestions from which we can understand and tackle the difficulties that come along with work and family. With this basis for understanding just how our work affects our children, the so-called "balance" between work and family begins to appear a little more manageable than ever before."
Barnes and Noble Review

"Galinsky�has a new book�which does something no combatant in the generation-long mommy wars has ever bothered to do: It lets the children speak�.Galinsky�said that [when people call in on talk shows], she hears from them a sense of recognition. And appreciation for a book that discovers that kids and fathers are part of working families, too."
Marie Cocco, Newsday
