hi
I had my sah sept 2010
prior to that I already worked part time as a primary teacher since I had my children. I tried to return far far too early - in the december 2010 and had to go home after one hour - I tried again the following april unsuccessfully and then went in just before the summer hols.
I then took on a year 3/4 class at the beginning of the academic year 2011 and even then I struggled for that term - nearly gave up but my school very supportive and I had a little extra ppa that term - I am now fully back enjoying my job but it's been a long time coming and I still get bad head aches and cannot do school work at home in the evenings.
luckily working part time allows me to plan etc on one of my days off - I am sure everyone is different and hindsight's a great thing but please take as much time as you can because teaching is such an impossible job to do when you are under par -as im sure you know well ! take your time and don't be lulled into thinking you are ready because being at home and going for walks, looking after family at your own pace is very different to teaching !!
I recall my surgeon said when I left hospital - I see youre a teacher take your time - I wish I had taken his advice !! so you please take mine x
hi -apologies for the typos in my reply ! not quite used to my smart phone yet!
pps : I was 45 when I had sah - I realise you are younger x
