NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Rachel Childs

 
I help couples navigate the early years of parenthood with strong and supportive parenting partnerships.  I am the founder of Parents that Work and author of Beyond Baby Talk: two people, nine months and the twelve conversations you never knew you needed to have.
 
Two-thirds of couples experience a decline in relationship satisfaction after becoming parents. When you are preparing for parenthood, the only classes available are to help prepare for giving birth. I’m here to bridge the gap for couples by actually spending time just focusing on you both. You and your partner are the beating heart of your family and we need to create more space to help the transition to parenthood as a partnership. As a result, new parents feel more connected, aligned and experience greater relationship satisfaction.
My mission is to support working mothers and fathers to find the right balance for their career and family dynamics with the aim to ultimately support greater equity in career progression and parental partnerships. I want to see more amazing mothers feeling confident and empowered throughout their journey as a parent so that they can carve the career trajectory that is right for them. I want more dads to feel empowered to take parental leave, and ask for flexible working without feeling it will hamper their career.
Whether you’re planning to start a family, transitioning from parental leave or navigating how to build a dual-career partnership, I create a space for you to explore the decisions and challenges as a couple.

"An Invaluable Practical Resource To Help With Preparation For Family Life.
As a first-time Dad, it can be difficult to feel like you're supporting your pregnant partner in the best way possible, especially when they're the ones dealing with the morning sickness and all the bodily changes! As well as encouraging us to have conversations about family values, our hopes for how we parent together and how our relationship might evolve in the coming years, Beyond Baby Talk has given me a better understanding of how I can be most supportive in the early days of having a newborn. We've had lots of useful discussions that we wouldn't have had otherwise, and I would recommend it as a tool for all first-time parents-to-be."

- Paul, expectant dad

"Rachel helped me with my transition back to work following maternity leave. At the time I was feeling anxious and unsure of whether the Job I was going back to was for me anymore. The coaching helped me define my boundaries for when I went back to work. Rachel supported me to  have the confidence to explore what other opportunities were available to me."

- Tracey, returning mum

"Rachel really helped me to stay focused on my objectives for coaching but also helping me balance enjoying the remainder of my maternity leave whilst thinking through what was important on my return to work."

Beyond Baby Talk. Two People, Nine Months And The Twelve Conversations You Never Knew You Needed To Have

This is THE essential book for expectant parents. We are overwhelmed with ideas and advice about parenthood, but we don’t prepare ourselves for how parenthood will change our relationships or talk about the expectations we have.

This is the first book that will help expectant parents transition to parenthood with strong foundations for your future family.

Structured around twelve date nights, this interactive workbook guides couples through the crucial conversations they need to have before baby arrives, helping them enter parenthood with a stronger, more resilient and loving relationship.
