Steeped in attachment science and recognising the importance of relationship. 

This course is for you!

  • You're due to return to work and you will need childcare for your little one.

  • You're worried about how you will settle your infant into their new care arrangements, whether it will impact your attachment relationship, and how your baby will cope while you are apart.

  • You've been told that "you need to make your baby less attached" and been advised to "just leave them - they will adjust", but your attachment relationship means everything to you and your instincts are telling you that an abrupt transition is not what is best for you or your baby.

You don't want a “one-size-fits-all” transition recommended by the childcare center because you know it is based on convenience and not on infant mental health.

You want the theory, knowledge and strategies to be able to tailor your infant’s transition to their unique needs.

You Need Reassurance and Some Hand Holding...

  • You want to invest in this transition to ensure you and your little one are as supported as possible amidst all this change.

  • You want advice that is informed by an evidence base, and to implement an approach that has been developed by a Psychologist and mother for her own child.

  • You need space to process why this transition feels so challenging (even though the majority of parents return to employment).

  • You want reassurance that your little one will be okay.

The beauty of this offering is that you get instant access to the prerecorded webinar.

I don't want to re-record the original webinar because it is GOLD. It is so personal and raw because I recorded it shortly after my daughter transitioned into childcare so I talk a lot about our personal journey, (and I can't recreate that magic).

BUT I want to give you the opportunity to ask me your questions. So, after you have watched the webinar email me your questions or join me for a chat as I am going LIVE to answer all your questions about what is best for you and your family.

Let me support you both with the strategies that I used to support my little girl.

You Can Have It All

My daughter and I were inseparable throughout the first year of her life. We co-slept, contact napped, breastfed and were never apart. And here we are, 18 months later and despite my returning to work, I promise you, we are both as bonded and connected as ever (and still contact napping when I'm not in work). You can preserve your core rhythms with your baby despite returning to work. 

Frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

I can't attend live. Will it be recorded?

Yes! The webinar is pre-recorded so you get INSTANT access to that and the PDF. Most people can't make the Q&A live but you can email me your questions ahead of time and I will add a link to the recording onto your dashboard.

Is this relevant to all types of childcare?

100% 

Whether using home-based childcare, daycare, a sitter, family care, a nanny or any combination of the above, this masterclass is for you. If you haven’t yet decided what childcare is best for your family, the PDF contains a helpful guide to each.

What age child is this suitable for?

When I first recorded this webinar I promoted it for 0-18 months, but really it is relevant for families with little ones from 0-24 months.

Testimonials

SO thorough! Built an understanding of attachment theory in an applied way. As well as providing so many useful strategies to use.

I contact napped every nap of my baby's life and I was so afraid that when he started daycareat 12 months that he would't be able to nap. But he did! And we still contact nap at weekends. The course empowered me to keep the attachment in tact while supporting him to attach to his daycare educators. Changed my life.

I am so glad I purchased this course. I cannot tell you how validating it was to hear that my instincts for what I thought my baby would need are worth advocating for. I really loved the personal touch with the accounts of your own baby. I am sitting here almost crying actually. Feeling so much more empowered and informed going into this transition

This psychologist- led webinar will give you ALL the information you need to know how best to transition your little one into childcare. Whether you want to do an extended transition, or have the tools to support your little one over a shorter period of time this course has it all.

Parenting young children is tricky. I can help. I am a Psychologist, but I'm also a mother who cares deeply about the importance of early relationships.

The Psychologist's Child was created to support other families to feel confident in their decision to parent from a place of connection, to nurture their relationship with their child, to nourish their child's neurodevelopment while navigating the challenges of infancy and early childhood. I want to share what I have learned with you.
