I know what you mean about being a source of calm Jemma. I had 2 primary care children start yesterday and they did not settle very well so I started my day by looking after 2 upset children. A couple of work mates kept asking me if I was alright & if I needed help & they seemed quite stressed about the situation I was in. I felt extremely calm & declined and continued to talk calmly to my 2 babies, within moments they were fully involved with me and we had quite a special moment happening. Normally I would get stressed out with this situation but this time I felt incredibly calm, it was amazing! I was also amazed that it was day 2 for one of the babies and there was absolutely no tears at all!
I found it quite hard yesterday when my team leader kept on asking me what I want to change round the place after being on the course & how we should improve. She wants me to start changing everything and is really laying on the pressure. I've tried explaining that we can not do it like that and we need to ease into it but not sure if I am being heard. Hope everyone is enjoying being back at work.

Well Fiona you must feel proud that settling the two babies has gone so well. I hope you boss realises the need for baby steps, but still feel ok that she is "asking" you what you would like to chance. Just go with what you feel.
