Childhood and Parenthood

Kids are beautiful and precious gift of God. Childhood is a very sensitive part of human’s life and it reflects throughout the life of children. A child requires many attentions from mother at an early age because mother is a natural custodian of the child. Also parents must enjoy the charm of life by growing their children. There is no doubt that homecare is always beneficial for children under the age of five. This is a social and spiritual responsibility of parents to take care of their children and one parent should stay at home.

The first reason is that obligation lies on parents to take all necessary steps for the betterment of their children. Nowadays, it has become a custom to leave children at day care because of busy life schedule. Everyone is trying to earn a lot of money due to financial needs. Nevertheless, home care is a ideal for children. Parents should not prefer money against their children’s future. Usually, the just first five years of child’s life parents should take care by themselves because money cannot be the alternative of their love. Parents should spend their maximum time with children in early five years, it will be more fruitful for them.

Certainly, there is no other substitute of child’s care except mother and father. In childhood, children need real love and care from their parents. Every child deserve true love from their parents. Parents are supposed to sacrifice their time and life for their children. They should concentrate on their children in all respects. It should not be considered as a burden. Also, working mother should compromise with her life at least the child is a five years of age by quitting her job because a child needs mother’s care and attention. Growth by parent will create a everlasting sense of love and responsibility in child.

Moreover, mother and father have spiritual relation with children and patents can only fill the heart of child with love and affection. Obviously, parents can also enjoy the innocence of their child. Hence, nobody can provide attention to the children which they need at childhood. Basically, homecare has lot of advantages for children because a child needs home environment. For example, taking care by parents establishes a close and tight knit relation between child and parents. The children grown by their parents behave positive in the society.

On the other hand, opponents have different aspect about childhood issues. One of the reason is that parents need more money to grow their children. It is very important for parents to work for their children’s future, so that they would be able to provide all facilities. In addition, there is another opposing argument that daycare centers are very useful and both parents can go to their work. Furthermore, opponents argue that daycare centers have trained staff who are well-aware of children’s interest and requirements. One point of view in favor of daycare is that under bad economic problems parents needs more money for their better living standard. Even though, daycare centers are growing day by day and busy life schedule is jolted and it sends parents over the edge. In spite of, Medical science acknowledges that children, who were fed by their mothers are more intelligent and sharp minded than other children. Last but not least, parents can arrange some midwife or babysitter at home. Whereas, daycare center is a business, therefore, they deal with children on commercial basis.

By concluding this topic, that this is the liability of parents to give full attention to their children. Therefore, mother should stay at home until the child reaches the age of five year or more. On the whole, parents are bound, socially and ethically for the wellness of children.
