It has always been in my mind that if you have the flexibility of not going back to work at a tight time frame, then you should be able to relax and choose the right age for your child to go to nursery.
In my situation, I work at my business and in my office, I dedicate a play area for my children to play, so I can take them there with me. It is difficult to balance work and playtime with them, but I felt that it's important to be with them as much as possible when they're young.
My girl, Siobhan, is now 2 years and 4 months old, she has only been in the nursery 3 months ago, and since she has been in nursery, she seems to have developed her skills much more than she would if she's with me all the time. With this, I'm beginning to feel that perhaps for my second son, Brannon, should go to nursery at an earlier age than Siobhan. But what age is right?
Personally, I might try him once he's walking, as I remembered from Siobhan, once she started walking, her brain seems to click shortly after and much quicker day by day too.... so perhaps when I felt that from Brannon, that should be the right time for him to go to nursery?!
What do you think?
