During maternity leave, young mothers acquire a lot of knowledge and skills that, before pregnancy, for the most part seemed unnecessary. In addition, today many women are afraid of being unclaimed. Therefore, in order to avoid postpartum depression, many young mothers try to find a use for themselves during maternity leave.
Internet as a virtual window to the world
If a young mother worked in a team before giving birth, then after the birth of a child and physical recovery, the lack of communication and the feeling of the need for self-realization slowly but surely begin to influence the psychological state. At this moment, close people should come to the rescue, take on some worries about the baby, so that the woman can change the "direction" of her thoughts and engage in self-realization.
If a young mother has extensive knowledge in certain areas, then you can start an Internet business. For example, writing articles. Using your knowledge, you can try the work of a copywriter, editor of articles on text exchanges on the Internet. The advantage of such work is a free schedule, remoteness of the place of work.
If you have experience with Photoshop and access to design freelance, then the creation of photo frames for kids will be quite in demand on sites with children's themes.
It is also possible to open your own online store, because a young mother, like no one else, is faced with the problem of the need for an urgent purchase, and there is no way to go to the store. The focus of the store can be very different, including the children's theme.
Live communication
The period of breastfeeding has passed, and the mother and the baby need live communication. In this case, it becomes possible to combine the useful with the pleasant. The first thing that can be proposed is to create a private kindergarten. In many families where my mother works, this is a rather painful question. By creating a small group, you can help yourself and other women who cannot be with their children on maternity leave and wait until the turn comes to accept a child in kindergarten.
If there is not enough living space, and you are an active and cheerful person, the next option is ideal. There is a unique opportunity to organize children's parties. It is enough to write a script, negotiate with a child care center, take an animator's costume, and half of the job is already done. Here you can also consider the creation of a puppet theater: a colorful portable screen (dolls can be made with your own hands), and the fairy tale will come to life in front of children.
If you are a hairdresser by profession and an expert in child psychology, then you can open a hairdressing children's room, because many parents are faced with such a problem as a child's haircut.
For women who know how to teach preschool children, an interesting proposal would be to create a children's club, especially since other mothers can be involved in this idea.
But if you are not used to intensive communication, but you have a desire to create with your own hands, you can do needlework. By posting photos of your products on your own website, you have the opportunity to fully realize your desires and earn good money.
