Welcome to Season 3! In this heartfelt conversation, hosts Tammy Schamuhn and Tania Johnson open up about the emotional journey of choosing childcare. Whether it’s daycare, a day home, or a nanny, many parents wrestle with guilt, worry, and uncertainty when it comes time to leave their child in someone else’s care. Tammy and Tania, both psychologists and moms, share their personal experiences alongside professional insights to help parents navigate this transition with confidence and compassion. They explore why feelings of guilt are so common and how to reframe them, what to look for in a high-quality childcare setting, and the ways childcare can support a child’s growth and social development. The episode also offers practical ideas for easing separation anxiety, both for parents and children. Whether you’re preparing to return to work or simply exploring options, this conversation offers reassurance, research, and real-life wisdom to remind you that you are not alone in this decision.
