Project Management for Parents helps families strengthen their relationships and reduce stress by applying techniques, normally used by billion-dollar companies, to streamline their busy lives. In today’s day and age, parents, stepparents, guardians, and caregivers need a set of tools that can be used with children of any age. In Project Management for Parents, Hilary Kinney provides an accessible, repeatable framework that can transform their approach to any kind of task at home in three steps:
Build Teamwork
Establish Your Approach
Succeed as a Family
What’s more, these same principles help improve family relationships by creating a positive environment, fostering communication, and encouraging children to think and act independently. This practical guidebook includes easy-to-understand exercises and tools that both parents and children can use, along with 25 real-life examples like selecting a childcare provider, managing homework, discussing risky teenage behavior, applying to college, and moving to a new city. Hilary shows parents how to apply proven project management concepts to family life, equipping families to successfully achieve their goals—together.

What people are saying…
“VERDICT - Kinney’s application of project management for parenting is a unique perspective in child-rearing literature and may prove quite helpful to the many overwhelmed parents juggling career and family obligations.”
“Hilary Kinney has nailed it! Her book should be mandatory reading for anyone who has or is planning to have children.”
Hilary was my project director when she became a parent. As an outstanding employee and a devoted mother, she managed special projects for The Ritz-Carlton, a $6 billion company. Her passion and dedication to her job and family are inspiring. I remember saying to her “I don’t know how you do it.” Now you can find all of her secrets in this book, and how she uses project management to create excellence at work and organize life at home.

Hilary Kinney has nailed it! Her book should be mandatory reading for anyone who has or is planning to have children. I have been married for 54 years and have three children. Where was a book like this when I was facing the daunting challenge of raising my children in a high-risk environment? Sadly, I had to learn how to achieve a “successful” family unit the hard way—trial and error. I eventually got to implementing most of Hilary’s suggestions, but not before having to recover from numerous “errors”.
Hilary’s book provides an articulate description of the suggested approach and the supporting actions that will increase the probability of achieving a strong family “team”. As a successful project manager for five decades, I am ashamed to admit that I never thought of applying proven project management techniques to my “raising a family” project. The insights provided in this book will save parents immeasurable time as they strive to nurture their children.
