🪷Lost in Transition - Rediscovering Your Identity in Motherhood - Presented by Anne Morgan

Becoming a mother is an incredible, life changing experience, and it is also one of the most significant psychological and physical changes a woman will ever have. No matter how prepared we are for the arrival of our little one, we often overlook the impact this transformation will have on our sense of self.

During those early years, many women find they have almost fallen into the gap between who they once were and who they are now. Society expects women to appreciate the gains motherhood brings, without providing a space to reflect on the losses. This means that we often struggle in silence to make sake of the dramatic changes we undergo as individuals.

For this final issue of Barnardos' magazine, Childlinks, stakeholders from the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Department of Education, NCCA, Tusla, Dublin City University, Early Childhood Ireland and Barnardos, as well as an early years provider, were asked to reflect on the changes in the sector over the years and to consider their vision and recommendations for the future.
