Whether the child is 6 weeks or 6 years, both parties will have to contend with different degrees of separation anxiety before a balance is achieved. Preparation is therefore vital to create a seamless transition. Here are some tips to consider:
- Hire dependable childcare: This is possibly THE most important factor in the process. It is advisable to start this process when you are still pregnant as it gives you more time to gauge the caregiver’s character and ability, create a rapport with her and give guidance on how you like things to be done. Introduce your caregiver to your family, your pediatrician, the Mama Mboga and other resources you consider key. Equip her with formal first aid training and let her know the steps she should take in the event of an emergency. On the same note, have a plan B lined up in the event the primary caregiver is not available. Your plan B can include friends, relatives, neighbours, daycare- all trusted by you and your family.
