#23 - The Formative Years Series: Session 4 - Returning to Work After Parental Leave
For the final episode in our Formative Years series we are talking about transitions. In this podcast we are chatting about transitions we parents make in our parenting journeys, and having a chat with parent guest Laura all about the transition of stepping back into work after parental leave.
Returning to work after maternity leave, parental leave or career break can be a big step for both your child/children, for yourself and your family. Navigating the practicalities, the separation and emotions can be a challenging time as you, your child and your family adjust.
Kerry chats with parent guest Laura who has returned to work after maternity leave just this month. Kerry and Laura talk about how she is managing this big step, how she has felt, practical tips and most importantly being kind to yourself always.
We hope you enjoy the conversation and if you or someone close is returning to work soon this podcast will help support you in your transition.
Remember Parentline are here on 0808 8020 400 to listen, offer support or guidance on any parenting issue.
