This article talks about how children are tomorrows leader and that in order for a child to be competitive we must support their develop, families, and the public policies that make it possible. they go on to state that family friendly policies make the best children friendly policies. Well that is the general gist of the article.

I think that it is very important to have family policy, i feel like it kills many birds with one stone. Children are a big part of most families. It is very important to have policies that support parents needs with regard to sick leave, and being able to attend their kids events etc. I think that the tax credits and medical leave acts are great starts, but just the tip of the ice burg.

if you get a chance read the article, I know it is a little old, but I thought it was a good article and I agreed with much of it!
