What if you are the one with separation anxiety? DR RICHARD C. WOOLFSON shares how you can ease your worries when you return to work after maternity leave.
Time has flown by so quickly since your baby arrived. All of a sudden, your maternity leave has ended and you’ve returned to work.
While your little one has adjusted well to the day care arrangement and doesn’t make a fuss when you leave him with the babysitter every morning, you have not. It turns out that you are the one who has separation anxiety.
Here are strategies to help overcome your worries when you’re at work.
Understand attachment
Bonding with your baby is a gradual and accumulative process that develops during the first couple of years – it doesn’t have to take place instantly, or in the first few months.
Every caring interaction that you and your little one share together helps strengthen this important emotional connection. And these experiences can occur when you come home at the end of the working day and on weekends, just as much as they can during the day.
