Securely Attached

Q&A: Is it better for my kids if I send them to daycare, have a nanny, or become a stay-at-home mom?


Listen Later

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

 

 

2:04 - There are many dilemmas parents often face that can be seen inside of this listener's question:

  1. Weighing the pros and cons of whether staying at home or going to work is the best for you, your child, and your unique situation.

  2. If you do choose to use childcare, what type is most ideal for your child.

  3. And finally, addressing the struggles surrounding your child's potential separation anxiety.

 

3:58 - There is no right or wrong answer to any of these questions.

 

7:05 - This decision shouldn't only be about your child. It's also important to ask yourself: What is best for me?

 

7:58 - This decision doesn't have to be permanent - if it's feeling overwhelming, you can reframe this to be what is right for me and my family right now.

 

12:30 - Weighing between sending your child to daycare, bringing in a nanny, or staying home with your children.

 

15:06 - Even if you are a stay-at-home parent you can add in opportunities for your child to learn to trust other caregivers and to experience separations.
