Course Description:
More than ever, the decision to stay home with your children is a tough one for any parent to make. Even after you’ve made this choice, you may be faced with quite a dilemma. The parent in you may recognize staying home as the most wonderful decision you’ve ever made, but the person in you may worry about the effect on your sense of self-worth, personal identity, finances and career. The pressure of this very dilemma can drive even the most passionate stay-at-HOME Parent back to the workforce prematurely.
If you’ve chosen to stay home for a while but sometimes feel you’ve over-compromised your self-worth, personal identity, finances and career, our FEC E-Learning course Thinking of Staying Home with Your Kids? Stay Home and Stay You (based on the book Staying Home and Staying You: A Mom’s Guide by Cynthia van Romondt-Mason) will take you on a journey of personalized self-reflection, lifestyle tweaking and a slight shift in perception to rid yourself of those mixed feelings for good. Nothing’s worth giving up a decision you know in your heart is best for yourself and your family.
Get ready to be inspired by a concept called HOME Parenting; the biggest stay-at-HOME Parent makeover ever! It’s time to update, re-define and emphasize the stay–at–HOME Parent role as a parenting choice, not a home-making one. Say hello HOME PARENT – goodbye stay-at-home mom or dad!
