Going back to work after baby: Maintaining a healthy and secure attachment bond Q&A with Dr. Emily Upshur

from Securely Attached · host Dr. Sarah Bren

Secure attachment is not that fragile! After all, it's biologically hardwired in our children to connect with us to ensure their greatest likelihood of survival—we have to actively work against our children's and our own biology to mess it up.   In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur is back to help answer a listener's concern about maintaining a secure attachment bond with her baby once she goes back to work. We'll discuss the basics of attachment theory, dispel the myth that you need to be a martyr to be a working parent, offer tips for finding small moments of connection and attunement throughout your day and help you distinguish the difference between your child's feelings versus the feelings you may be projecting onto them.     Want to get more from Dr. Sarah Bren?  ✨ Follow Dr. Sarah on Instagram ✨ Click here to join the weekly newsletter  ✨ And check out her website for more free parenting resources
