Subject: Children, Childcare, Working Mothers

    Children are growing up in the daycare by people who do not have time, nor the compassion, to provide the love and direction that kids need. Women are out earning money like their husbands while their children stay home and are raised by the television. With no parent to depend on or go to for questions and comfort, children have found their own ways to entertain themselves and keep busy. Guidance has not, in this case, been provided by the right personage. How can parents have the audacity to trust the television to give their kids the knowledge and tutelage youngsters need to grow up right?

    Children need at least one parent with them at all times. A daycare provider is not the one who is responsible for the child’s nurturing. One of the parents must agree to move their lives toward the rearing of their children. If couples wish to have children, they must take into account their financial status. If parents lack the ability to properly care for their children, then they should think twice about having them. The importance of the child’s care and upbringing should be more important than the parents’ wants. Another item to consider before having a child is the amount of sacrifices that you are willing to give up so that you can teach your children properly.

    I have noticed many things that have been visible in today’s children. First, I would like to point out the extreme degradation in children’s moral senses. Kids in this age watch movies that the older generation would not even think ever existed. The tolerance levels of modern youth have been booted up partially because of the lack of direction from their parents. Too many children do not even see their parents for more that six hours a day because the child spends most of the time in a daycare being brought up by a person who is usually unable to provide the loving compassion that can only be displayed by a true parent.

    Another trait that I have found intriguing in the children of today is the amount of false depictions of society that have influenced our youngsters to participate in unnatural activities. For instance, I have noted many soap operas and dramatic films that are completely different to the way society really works. When children are exposed to these false depictions, they need to have a parent around to guide them through any misunderstandings that arise when these types of media are displayed.

    Many children are severely troubled because they are thrown around from person to person every day. The child wakes up early in the morning, eats breakfast, and is hauled off to the daycare center. Often times, infants and toddlers are very stressed when the mother or father has to leave them with someone else every day. The child has to adapt to another parent. Receiving good care from one person is far better than receiving moderate care from three people. It is important that a child becomes trustful and completely able to depend on his or her parents to always be available to give comfort and guidance.

    Personally, I believe that the entire human race is doomed to utter destruction because of the degradation of the basic family unit. When a society conforms to the worst possible depictions of morals that can be imagined, namely unsupervised television and so forth, that society will become fake and depend only upon what their favorite fake characters involve themselves with. The TV was never intended for the bringing up of children. Parents need to raise the children and leave the television for occasional entertainment.
