Quote From: jettavMy children are around people all the time but they have never stepped foot in a day care and they are just fine in every area of their lives. Kids have their own personalities and just because one kid screams their head off doesn't mean another will, mine don't and they go to sitters on a accasions and can't wait to go to their church classes and out with friends, Any way, daycare may be good for some kids but I personally can't stand the thoughts of leaving my children with a strangers, I don't care what their wualifications are, I can't do it, especially as young as they are. My oldest is 4 and now in preschool and she is actually ahead of her class, never gets in trouble, and as happy as can be, her first day, she walked in like she owned the place LOl and gets along just fine, we are still thinking about homeschooling though but kids can get what they need from the paretns and other surroundings, doesn't have to be daycare for all kids, Parents just need to follow their hearts and do what they feel to do as parents and put their kids first.
After having my son, my husband and I soon figured out that one income is not going to be enough to have the things we want in life. I never tried to do well in highschool. I never had any ambitions or goals, that is, till I gave birth to my precious boy. From that moment on I wanted to become someone my little boy can look up too. Plus, I wanted to be able to equally contribute(if not more), to our family to help give my loving husband some relief. I decided trhat my goal was to become a RN and hopefully one day work in labor and delivery. I am right now currently in school three days a week. We have no help for my little boy, so I had to find a reputable daycare center for him to attend. My ambition was to find one that stimulates them, has activities, smoe type of curriculum, along with lots of fun. I did not want to take him to a place where he just wonders around a room all day. Well I found one! I put him in there and he loves it, sure we might have a rough morning from time to time and he doesn't want me to leave. I admit it makes me feel guilty, but I have to do this to help with our family' future. He has also benifited from it sooooo very much. his vocabulary has extended greatly. There is not many 2 yr olds that can talk all about dinosaurs for just one example. He makes friends, and has the besr outgoing personalty a mom could ask for! In our situation, putting our little angel in daycare, was putting him first!
