Should I have children?
Should I have children now?? Or should I wait?
That's another question I often get asked.
And of course, being a coach, I can't answer that for my clients - but I can help them work out the answer.
'What are you waiting for?' I ask
And the answers vary - but usually they revolve around money, career, relationship.
In these uncertain ecomomic times, more people are factoring in money as part of the decision. The difficulty people have in buying property is another key factor.
As I have often explored on this blog, women's career paths and the decision is often a tricky one - as women do face discrimination for having career break or for taking maternity leave.
Another problem is around relationship - if you have just gotton into a relationship, when is the right time to have a child?
Sometimes, we put up barriers or we let our inner saboteur obstruct our decision by throwing up practical reasons why we shouldn't have children now. So it's important to shine a spotlight on our saboteurs - to really determine whether we are being run by a negative sabatoging voice inside us. OR whether we are truly making a positive and conscious choice.
