There's no harm in being a working mum research reveals. The Sun Herald reports that "mums can return to work within a year of giving birth without harming their babies' development, a landmark US report shows". Full Article.
Personally I believe there's a few critical factors that mums need in place in order to successfully manage being a 'working mum'.
1. The ability to return to a job, occupation and workplace that they enjoy and get personal fulfilment from - let's face it no mum wants to leave their child(ren) in the care of another for a job they loathe.
2. Access to affordable, quality child care weather that be a grandparent, private nanny, family day care or long day care.
3. Access to flexible work arrangements which allows mums to better balance the needs and demands of work and family as required.
Have your say; what do you think?
