In today’s society the majority of households have a family dynamic where both parents need to work. It is nearly impossible for most families in America to survive financially without two incomes. This puts many parents in a situation where they have to find extra help to watch their children while they are away at work. “These days couples face complex negotiations over work, family, child care, and housekeeping. It becomes evident that where traditional marriage through the centuries has been a partnership based on mutual dependency, modern marriage demands greater self-sufficiency” (Hekker). Day care becomes a necessity for many families, and the main concern for most parents is if the day care will be a positive experience for their children. Day care can be a positive option for parents seeking help with child care as well as developmentally for the child. Many stay-at-home moms believe that the first day of day care can be very scary for children who have never been away from their parents. These children have never developed the vital sense of independence. They find themselves suddenly alone, away from their moms, and they lack the knowledge that it will only be for a short period of time. Children that are sent to day care early on already have developed an advantage over newcomers by having acquired this knowledge. Familiarity is gained over a period of time and trust is developed before other basic social learning interactions can occur. Children that have already developed the skill of a sense of independence and un-attachment from their parents have an easier time for transition when entering kindergarten and being away from home during the school day. Jennifer Cerbasi from Fox News suggests, “Children who s... ... middle of paper ... ...onomy. Day care can be a positive option for parents seeking help with child care. It is self-assuring for many parents that are struggling to raise a family while balancing job security, to know that there are a variety of options out there for the watching of children. As with any difficult task, the monitoring of child safety concerns should stay primarily as a parent’s number one responsibility and concern. Today there is government help and assistance by providing mandatory safety and ethics requirements that are enforced through safety-regulatory agencies and through inspections for compliance for the purpose of licensing approval. It is a welcome thought for parents to know that they may be doing their children a favor in using a day care, by helping their young ones become better prepared for kindergarten and giving them an opportunity to learn new skills.
