December 2, 2009

I think it is disturbing that 60% of women with children under 3 are in the work force. That means all of these children have to spend most of their time in another setting other than their own home with their mother. Is this the best scenario for very young children? I used to run a home daycare and one of the moms would drop off her child at 7:00 AM and pick her up at 5:30 PM. Who had more influence on that baby girl? Me as her daycare provider or her mom? The child was awake with her mom approximately 2-3 hours a day. I think that is very sad. Maybe the changing role of women is not in the best interest of their children. Just a thought.
