Post Week #7

Good and healthy childcare is the biggest challenge in our gendered society. It is very rare that mothers stay home and take care of their children any more, these young kids are so much influenced by their care takers, for instance the care taker's language, their day to day behavior, their daily routine, etc. I know couple of our friend's they have nannies from different parts of the world and it is amazing how fast these kids are learning their languages and their rituals. These kids imitate the nannies language,they prefer and enjoy nannie's food as well as their own food which is really cool, they are getting exposed to all different cultures, but at the same time do you think they are deprived of their own family traditions? I guess some parents believe in giving quality time rather than giving quantity time to their children. Our children are our future, we hope they get the best of the care, does not matter from whom they get the loving care.
