Some people think it would be better if the whole family (uncles, aunts and grandparents) are involved in bringing up children rather than only parents. What is your opinion?

It is thought by many that raising children is only parents` responsibility and should not be shared with other family members. I think,
however
, it would definitely be better if uncles, aunts and grandparents would participate in
this
and in
this
essay, both views will be discussed. On the one hand, when whole families are involved in bringing up children, there are more standpoints and previous experiences to help solve daily life decisions and issues.
For example
, a grandmother can share her views on how to apply limits on her grandchild as she has already done
this
with her own children. Another advantage is that there is no need to hire babysitters, adult family members, in like manner, could take shifts to take care of children and
therefore
everybody will have the opportunity to equally participate in parenting and have more free time to do leisure activities and work. Others think,
however
, that only parents are responsible for their child upbringing. The
first
reason for
this
is that too many opinions may get the child confused and unable to know who to respond to. The
second
reason is that parents should consult professionals,
such
as paediatricians or psychologists when deciding on what is better for their kids. There are,
for instance
, many books on raising children that
can be read
Suggestion
can read
, rather than asking for help from the rest of the family with parenting decisions. In conclusion, whereas some people think that only parents should decide how to bring up their children, I think that sharing
this
responsibility with the rest of the family is more economical, time saver and nurturing for children`s personalities. In
this
manner, all households around the world should opt for
this
way of raising kids.
