[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m firmly in the camp that tweens and teens need more time. A lot of time. And if people were more available to kids at these emotional and hormonal moments there’d be less messed up kids. Little kids hardly recall all the stuff you did and a provider is often down to provide the stimulation and laughter and learning little ones need. [/quote] The foundation for your tweens/ teens coming to you is set in the early years. There's no point in time where you can check out of parenting, and your kids will not be messed up.[/quote] I agree. But I think having a nanny or using childcare in the early years will be fine if you need to work. I don’t mean don’t spend time with them. I just think it’s more impactful to be around as much as possible as they get more aware of their life and develop into their own person. [/quote]
