Comments on: A Mother’s Influence http://fromonemomtoanother.com/2007/03/29/a-mothers-influence/ Nurturing Moms from Marriage to Motherhood & Everything in Between! Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:36:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: paula http://fromonemomtoanother.com/2007/03/29/a-mothers-influence/#comment-15802 paula Thu, 02 Aug 2007 04:14:41 +0000 http://1smartmom.com/index.php/2007/03/29/a-mothers-influence/#comment-15802 I found this article extremely accurate and enlightening. As a mother who stayed home and earned her teaching degree. I have been surprised and amazed with the number of children in elementary who have behavior and social difficulties. Many of these problems come from extended hours in childcare, and or improper supervised care. Behavior at this young age is learned, if it takes acting out to get attention, that children learn to act out. I feel thankful that I did not have my children in childcare, while they were young for long periods. AS your article points out, it is difficult to replace the actual contact a child has with their own mother, or family member. I found this article extremely accurate and enlightening.

Boy was it an eye opening experience and made me resolve that I wanted to be home with my kids if it was financially feasable. I did, however, meet some terrific moms that had chosen to have a career and children. They made good choices and were very involved in their children's lives. It really can depend on the person. On the whole I think if you can be home with your children to mold their moral compass that is the absolute best. With one at 9 we continue to work on moral issues and it is alot easier to deal with because we have less outside influence ,than most. I think that if you give the best foundation possible before those teenage years then everyone in the family will benenfit. Thanks Angel for another great and thought provoking post.
