The government should pay to the parents of very young children, so that one of them can stay at home and look after their children. What do you think are the pros and cons of this policy? Justify your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The importance of the role parents play in the life of their children cannot be overemphasized. Some people are of the view that one of the father or mother, with the financial support of the government, should stay at home and take care of the kids. While

this

is an excellent idea because of the safety of the child, the disadvantages ought to be considered. Having a parent available to grow with the child has a

lot

of crucial advantages. Humans are generally in their most vulnerable state when they are young. Children are susceptible to all

of sickness when growing up.

For instance

, my son used to be a very healthy lad until he started attending a Crèche because his

mom

had to resume work after her maternity leave. The crèche was unable to make special arrangement for his peculiar needs and allergies.

As a result

, he always had a flu or an infection every other week.

In addition

, children absorb a

However

, having a stay at home parent would require a

of money to finance.

Therefore

, there has to be a compromise somewhere in the government’s finances because these funds could be used for other critical aspects of the economy
