Problems Of Working Parents # Essay

Nowadays, many families have both parents working. Some working parents believe that other family members, like grandparents can take care of the children, while others are of the opinion that child care centres provide the best care. Discuss both views and give your opinion.


The world has changed dramatically with a complete scenario change in how the people used to live and work. In today’s era, most of the families have both working parents, leaving them little or no time to raise their offspring’s. As a result, some of them have turned to other family members and believe that grandparents can take care of their child in a great way, while others are of the opinion that it is better idea to bring kids to child care organisation.
A child brought up in care of his or her grandparents always grows up with assets that prove to helpful in longer run. Firstly, grandparents have already their own kids and have live experience of raising children, and hence will have a better idea about child care skills and will be able to look after little kids. Secondly, it creates a sense of a happy family and family oriented youths tend to grow up to have better relationships with their elders and other people in general.
Turning to the other side of argument, child care organisations have employees that are trained in babysitting skills and know how to cope with kids in various situations such as unsafe circumstances or accidents. For instance, if a child falls down and injures himself/herself they know what to do as they have learned first aid skills.
Overall, in my opinion, although child care organisation know their job, the love and compassion that a child can get from his/her grand parents can nowhere be found.
