Other Loving Arms
Other Loving Arms
A successful transition begins with a confident and supported parent.
THEY SAY IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD, AND THIS IS WHAT THE VILLAGE LOOKS LIKE FOR MANY. CHOOSING CHILDCARE OPTIONS AND TRANSITIONING TO A NEW WAY OF CARE DOESN’T HAVE TO FEEL SO OVERWHELMING.
Someone once told me..
“You’re not handing over care. You’re passing her from your loving arms, into other loving arms.”
Beginning the process of childcare can feel so daunting, especially if you are feeling as though you don’t have a lot of choice in the matter.
Choosing the right care alternative, settling them in, and adjusting to your potential return to work; it’s a lot, and there isn’t a lot of support out there for such an epic transition.
I’ve heard it all before:
‘“You’ll cry more than she will!”
“Oh he’ll be fiiiiiiine!”
“Don’t overthink it! She won’t remember it!”
“He needs it, he needs to learn how to socialise!”
Truth is, no matter how positive people try to make it for you - it can feel heavy.
And you deserve some guidance and support to help your family thrive in the change.
You don’t need to fly blind.
We’ve got the support you deserve.
Our workshop and accompanying bonus resources has helped hundreds of families feel informed, supported and prepared for the transition.
And a supported, confident parent - means that your child can rest in your confidence, reassured that this is safe and secure - which makes for a much smoother transition.
