I fully agree with the views and information. The children needs the support of mother and enjoying with father. They are depressed even if the day care pay lot of attention.My daughter-in-law, who was working in a good soft ware profession resigned her job as soon as she got pregnancy and never took up any job after giving birth to the child. When I asked her why she refuses to take good jobs from reputed companies, she said " the earning now we get will be enough more over I have suffered and lost the parental care very much since my parents both were going to job till I complete my degree." I don't want my children also to undergo such a harassment in their future.
What a bold, good and experience felt decision.
Home Is Most Important
Is day care—supervision of children by others while the parents work—good for children? That is what a U.S. study by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development wanted to find out. Prominent child-care researchers at 14 universities kept track of 1,364 children from birth to age three. More than 20 percent of the children were cared for by their mothers at home; the rest were sent to day-care centers or to the homes of paid baby-sitters. The results? “The researchers found that children in high-quality day care—the kind in which adults talk to them a lot in a responsive way—have a slight advantage over kids in less attentive settings when it comes to language and learning abilities,” notes Time magazine. “But the chief conclusion was that the impact of day care was far less important to the mental and emotional development of the children than was the character of their family life. . . . Researchers calculated that just 1% of the differences among children could be traced to day-care factors but 32% could be explained by the differing quality of their experiences within their families. What’s the message? Home is the learning center that counts.”
