Is it better for children to be raised by stay-at-home parents?

Each person passes through the stages of life. Infancy and childhood stages are the life stages that require full guidance from parents. It is mainly because they still don't have steady state of mind and lack capacity to decide on their own due to lack of experience.

As a child grows, he is being influenced not only of the people he frequently deals with but also of his environment. Whatever he sees or hear can be fully absorbed by his young mind. It is better therefore that parents or even only one of the parents particularly the mother to fully monitor the everyday activities of her child. For a child who was raised by stay-at-home parents are more guided and less chances to do wrong. Advantages of having stay-at-home parents in the eyes of a child are as follows:

1. On cases of problems, children can easily ask help from parents as well as parents can easily determine if their children are faced with troubles. The earlier a problem is determined, the earlier it will be solved thereby minimize child stress. With parents always around you, children will never feel being left out or taken for granted.

2. Proper nutrition will be well maintained and the risk of illness will be minimized. Parents know what is best for their kids and only offers the best healthy foods ever. First signs of illnesses or sickness can be monitored and immediate remedy can be applied.

3. A child is well secured if parents are always besides them. The danger of accidents can be minimized. I remember the time when my sons were barely two to three years old. Due to my busy work, I can't fully take care of my children and it is my greatest regrets because they are always being hospitalized not only due to sickness but also due to accidents. Although I have hired a baby sitter to look after them, there is still no better thing as being taken care by your own mother. Baby sitter sometimes lack concern and patience to fully understand what the child needs. Unlike a mother who is willing to sacrifice all for the love and concern for her children.

4. Learning is much easier for children being guided by parents. Aside from patience and understanding that parents can give, a child will be motivated more if he feels the love and support of his parents. Simple appreciation from parents means a lot to a child.

5. Parents who fully guided their children until they grow up usually received much respect and love from their children. It is just like the golden rule, that what you did to your children will also be done to you when you grow old. If you showed one hundred percent love and care to your children while they are young, for sure, you will also receive same love and respect from them when you grow old.
