In today’s competitive world, many families find it necessary for both parents go out to work. While some say the children in these families benefit from the additional income, others feel they lack support because of their parents’ absence. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

There is no doubt that today's modern life has become more expensive. While some people believe that doubled income is necessary, I would argue that

such

a trend would affect negatively the

children

. In

this

disquisition, I will discuss both arguments in details. On the

one

hand, the need for multi-sources income has increased to cover the dramatically booming cost of living, which can be beneficial for the

children

. To illustrate, having both parents working would guarantee a bright educational future for their youngsters as

this

means that the family could afford not only a private international school and some extra summer courses but good transports and entertainment facilities as well.

For instance

, a child, who has a working father and mother, can have better teachers and enjoy more school trips which can broaden his horizon at a small age and help him try new experiments.

In contrast

, low-income families might not afford school's outdoors activities and the cost of private teachers if they decided to keep

one

of them at home.

On the other hand

, the presence of at least

one

parent at home is crucial, especially within the

first

ten years of the

children

's age.

This

is because

children

are more dependent on their mothers', and if they have grown up with a strange person like a babysitter or

one

of their relatives, that would affect their bonds and relationships with their parents. Another impact could be the social and psychological influence on their personality as well as their health. An illustrative example of

that is

research conducted by the University of Baghdad, which have explored that

children

have more mental abilities and social behaviours when they spend their time with

one

of the close family members in comparison with those who are left at kindergartens.

As a result

, their educational progress is higher and their results are better overall. In conclusion, having presented the ideas above,

although

the cost of living is increasing and more and more expenses are becoming urgent, the time spent with the

children

is much more vital.
