more time for my professional development or stay at home with kids?

[goodbook200]

Have 2 DC - primary school. have more and more desire to develop professionally (I am a teacher), so taking some time to develop my subject knowledge etc. Some people say that this time with kids will never come back,so feel like I need to spend time with kids. I work ft. what woudl you do?

What would it involve in practical terms?

I work 8 till about 4. Then I would have to stay 30 min longer to do online courses which will help my cv, I hope.

Do it!

Why do you think this way? I am almost 40...and not really sure if I can achieve more, even with additional courses...

Can't you do the online courses later in the evening when they are in bed?

Nearly 40 is nothing! It's only an extra 30 minutes a day and is for your ongoing professional development.

Think positive!

I thought you were walking about working until Late at night and loads of weekends away!!!
30 mins is nothing, do it!

I said 30 mins as a minimum. I will try to do minimum and see how far I get in terms of getting something done/ complete ( course/ certificated modules etc) I do have a degree, so it is just enhancing my skills

Do it! Uness you really dont want to.

Good luck! When do you start?

I started yesterday...

Good for you, hope all goes to plan. Keep us posted.
