I know parents who send their 2 and 3 year olds to kindergarten and pre-school even on the days when they are at home, so that they can have some peaceful time. Unfortunately its the parent's decision. A person's character depends a lot on the memories he or she garners in her childhood days. Just make sure you give your child as much attention as the time it spends 'socializing'.
It's WHO's recommendation to breastfeed AT LEAST until 2 years, not mine. Besides, how much money is this woman going to make? If it's around 6,000 (secretary)it's not even worth going.
ok, granted that you both had to work, still, make sure you spend quality time with your child despite busy schedule at work.. remember, you cannot put a price on your baby's childhood...
Beautifully said. And by the way, what about breast feeding? I met too many women who said they didn't have any milk. What rubbish! Think about your child!
Thats Life. When your young kids dont need anything but your attention & love...You'll be busy in making money to give them a better life. When they grow up, you would want nothing from them but their attention & love...while, they would need nothing but your money.
Oryx, may I ask you a personal question? Do you have your own children or you just teach somebody elses? And I think you probably went to a kindergarten in Mexico, not in Doha, I believe about 60 years ago. Besides, from your remarks on other people's post I think you are still there.
I think anyone who will interfere with the rules clearly defined by nature will have to pay for it one way or the other, sooner or later. Haven't we learned that already...Children growing in the absence of the mother will obviously not bond well emotionally with the mother. Who else could be a better teacher at this tender age than the mother herself. As far as socializing is concerned this could wait and should not be done at the cost of the child's overall development, physical, mental and emotional. Let the toddler enjoy the warm company of her mother as much as possible and do not deprive her of this right... Of course that is my view...
Dear Mothers, the child need your care and love, atlease upto 3 years, do not run behind money too much dear, bcoz ur loosing something more than money in your house.
osamabawab, pity for you man, may be you grown up in such a situation. dont spoil your childs life...
I think it is good for a child to socialize. At what age? Well, that depends on the child. A few hours in the morning even at 2 years of age is good,IMHO. Also it may be good for some children to be away from their mothers for a few hours to foster independence.
Now, for a mother to be away from her child all day, NO,IMHO not good. For a child to be literally brought up by nannies or kindergarten/nursery people, NO, IMHO, not good.
Of course there are cases where this in unavoidable due to circumstances of the parents. I had my child once I could make sure that I would be able to stay at home.If my circumstances would have remained so that I can't stay home, I would not have had a child. As I believe the welfare of the child is ALWAYS first priority and comes before my or my families wishes.
Yes, there is. They need a mum to be around all day and night until they are 3. You are suppose to breastfeed your child AT LEAST up to 2 years. The immune system is forming up to 3. In kindergarten your child will definately get sick and here, in Qatar to recover from a viral infection it will take 1 month when for the same one in Europe takes one week. The doctors will give antibiotics which are terrible for 2-year old's immune system. Your child is going to be stuck in-doors instead of going for a walk with you. And at this age you can teach your child much more effectively than they do in a kindrgarten anyway. I am a person who has a two-year old child and worked in a kindergarten for two years. Britexpat, are you a woman or a man? I see you discussing baby sitting and even gynecological problems a lot.
it is always better to send them to scool or baby sitting at this age, so they will start to socialise with other kids. If both the parents are working and no other choice, we will be forced to send them, I am one among them who is sending one and a half year daughter to baby sitting.

He was a fine kid until that young girl carrying water from the river flashed her doey eyes at him :O(
Mowgli was nurtured by the wolves who were not his original parents. But he was a fine kid.
Sometimes parents with less earning unwillingly have to go work even they have to agree on less than 5000 as they are helpless in this regard.
Yes, WHO's recmmendation is also at least 2 years;

A two year old would have stopped b/f and to nourish children parents also need money...

I think its ok for parent to leave their 2 years old baby as long as they trust the nannies. TRUST is a must!

We lack here for a community; family and friends. But nannies are not healthy community.
I too think Britexpat is a She-man.

Thank you....
I was sent to playschool at one and a half. My mother didn't work but I was an only child and she wanted me to socialise and start learning.
I only went for mornings but i can still remember little bits.
for me, even that my wife is not working i am willing to send my 2 years old child to the kindergarten coz i feel like he will learn faster
but still discussion is going on
where is that located?
just want some ideas for other parents....
thanks for the lines....im very confused...coz im too attached of my child....
then....am i doin' wrong?
lol DaRuDe
it is always better to send them to scool or baby sitting at this age, so they will start to socialise with other kids. If both the parents are working and no other choice, we will be forced to send them, I am one among them who is sending one and a half year daughter to baby sitting.
well what do you think?
why not send the baby to Chabra to learn some work
It's the parents' choice. Theer is no right or wrong.
No.
When they will grow up, they will also send you to old age home.
