Daycare : How do you feel about it ?

I was a SAHM for the whole first year of her life, even when I was in esthetic school I didn’t work. But when I graduated and got my license I went back to work. So that meant baby girl had to go to daycare.

Her first day was pretty rough on US. It gave me anxiety and it really hurt her feelings. I was lucky to had put her in a daycare that sent pictures/ videos with countless updates about what she was doing. So you know it took the ease off. But for her it didn’t.

She went for about 2.5 months before she stopped going. I’m not too sure if I want to send her back. What would you do ?

... Read moreChoosing daycare for your child can be a daunting decision for many parents, especially for those who have been stay-at-home parents. Many parents face anxiety over their child starting at a daycare, concerned about how their child will adapt and the emotional toll it may have on both parties. Some daycare facilities alleviate these worries by providing constant updates through pictures and videos, giving parents peace of mind about their child's activities. It’s crucial to consider how adaptable your child is and what environments suit their temperament best. Furthermore, knowing the benefits of socialization, learning, and structure that daycare can provide can help ease hesitations. Many parents reflect on their experiences and seek advice from others who have faced similar challenges, hence the need for open discussions on platforms like forums or support groups. Initiatives like #daycaretips and #daycarelife can be great resources for sharing insights and strategies as well. Ultimately, it’s a personal decision that involves weighing the emotional aspects and the developmental advantages that daycare might offer.

My mother i always told me she wish i would have went to daycare because as i got older she noticed i had a hard time making friends and being in crowds. Where it was the complete opposite with my brother.
