Nowadays, many families have both parents working. Some working parents believe other family members like grandparents can take care of their children, while others think childcare centres provide the best care. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
These days it is common for families where both the
parents
work. Few parents
believe that other members of the family such
as grandparents
can look after their children
while at work, while there are other couples who think childcare
centers
look after their kids much better. I will be discussing both the views in this
topic, but I believe that grandparents
can play a better role than childcare
centers
.
While critics argue that grandparents
should be freed of their burden due to their old age
and taking care
of their grandchildren is an added burden looking at their age
. However
, I would suggest that children
who are raised in joint families and taken care
by their grandparents
from an early age
tend to have more morals, affection and family values within them when compared with children
who grew in a childcare
center . For example
: - A child
who was raised with their grandparents
always finds it easy to discuss his emotions and feels secured that he has someone beside him to protect him in any matter whenever he is in trouble. Moreover
, this
enhances a child’s
confidence within him to deal with the world in his growing years. Also
, I would like to add that grandparents
who are retired and alone in their old life enjoy to have a companion in the form of a child
, who could keep them busy and let’s them avoid the depression of being alone. For example
:- A survey from the NY times has estimated that an increase in old age
homes is because people at old age
tend to get depressed of being alone. Hence
, its always better to let grand parents
stay with the family.
It has been observed that many parents
believe that childcare
care
centers
are the ultimate option while they are at work due to many factors. Firstly
, childcare
centers
get involved in the overall development of the child’s
brain activity, performance by involving them in various brain development games etc. which let’s the child
excel in his academic career. For Instance
:- A friend of mine who enrolled his children
in a child
care
at a early age
, has seen a drastic difference with his kids overall activity which is mostly innovative. Lastly
, childcare
centers
are a place of communication for children
to meet with other children
of their age
which ultimately breaks the barrier of being an introvert. For Example
: - A study suggested that children
who grow up in an open environment tend to socialize and gel with their peers better than the ones who grow in a closed family environment.
To conclude, the above essay has discussed both scenarios of working parents
who believe that their child’s
care
can be done by other members of the family such
as their grandparents
, while there are parents
who also
believe that this
can be done by a childcare
center. However
, in my opinion I believe that child’s
development and care
is much better handled by our experienced grandparents

Word Count
IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.
A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.
Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
