@sue_haddon - talking to other mothers has been a solid lifeline to gaining that confidence! ❤️

[Chantelle Taylor @Chantzelle]

@sue_haddon It took till baby number 3 to stop worrying about this kind of thing! With this one being prem and so many more appointments and eyes on I’m glad I’ve finally got to a stage where I’ve stopped worrying about the judgement and stigmas that hurt me for so much of my mum life.

Day 2 at the Royal. What does it say about motherhood when I’m classing this as a bit of me time? Can’t get more self care than hospital care.

Here’s to a 2023 filled with rainbows, joy and love 🌈🫶🏽

[Chantelle Taylor @Chantzelle]

If you’d like to hear me waffle on about my research into #MaternalMentalHealth, my life balancing research and motherhood and the difficult parts of sharing my own (sometimes dark) maternal narratives. Check out this Pod. Thanks Eva and Sarah for the great opportunity #momademia

[Dr Eva Lantsoght @evalantsoght]

Today, on the PhD Talk podcast, we interviewed @Chantzelle about her research, motherhood, and what it's like to do a PhD @lborouniversity https://t.co/ZQK0xvKfpB

Being the big man in red is so stressful 🎅🏼 I always appreciate my own mum, but even more so in moments like this.

[Chantelle Taylor @Chantzelle]

For the past 2 years a Parents Wellbeing Cafe has been a lifeline in my most darkest moments! I have made true friends and together this year we made decorations for the Christmas Tree Festival. This may look like chaos, but quite frankly so are most of our lives #senparenting 🎄

[Dr Catherine Wilkinson @DrCatWilkinson]

After some recent critique of and contestation about autoethnography as a valid methodological approach, we are keen to put autoethnography firmly back into the researcher’s methodological toolkit. The book will cover history and traditions, ethics, research design and much more

@bchclnrbch @Adhdandmebexley @ASMU_Sendplight So so frustrating and hard for both of you! I hope the meeting is a success and you both finally get the support you need.

[Chantelle Taylor @Chantzelle]

@Adhdandmebexley @bchclnrbch @ASMU_Sendplight And yet if they paid for the support when we first make it clear our children need that help it would cost them a lot less than them waiting until our children are behind, traumatised and broken, and parents are mentally worn down from being repeatedly dismissed and blamed 💔

[Chantelle Taylor @Chantzelle]

@bchclnrbch @ASMU_Sendplight IME unless your child or you cause the school hassle they are reluctant to do ‘unnecessary’ paperwork. One of ours also wasn’t academically struggling but without the support he has fallen behind the rest of his peers. We’ve had a lot of battles to get to this point! Good luck 🍀

[Naomi Fisher @naomicfisher]

Tell parents and families they are not alone. This is far more common than most people know, because families feel blamed & ashamed. Let's shout it from the rooftops. Lots of kids aren't fine at school & it's not their fault. Change needs to start in the system, not them. 7/

[Chantelle Taylor @Chantzelle]

@ASMU_Sendplight When I was trying to work out what was going wrong at school for my boy but faced with “I don’t knows” I asked him about his MAGIC school. What school would look like if it could be the way he wanted it and out came scratchy carpets, ticking clocks and unwanted social attention🪄
