Thank you for the video! I work as an infant teacher and this is useful for advice for the parents 😊 I always wonder about these things though… if we were as smart as Korea we would get about 2 years paid maternity and paternity leave. But most places don’t allow you to raise your child. It just makes me wonder, it may seem like a good thing to socialize your baby and be able to leave them with other people, it’s said here that it’s good to have your child attached to different caregivers. I just always wonder about this because typically research shows that it is best for the child’s development to spend as much time with their parents as possible until they get older and actually need that child-to-child interaction. I’m not sure why that is, maybe more love, support, and consistency from Parents? But I think being able to leave your kid at a daycare is convenient, but it probably isn’t a good thing in the long run. It could possibly be link to why mental health disorders are so prevalent where I live, since poor development usually means lack of emotional control, conflict resolution, ability to communicate, and interact with others in a positive manner. But I think the culture is that work comes first and family comes second in the US (that’s where I live). It’s just interesting to think about how something we perceive as good may be causing a larger problem 🤔
You bring up a really interesting point! And yes, I am definitely sharing from the perspective of American culture and working parents who need to have their children enrolled in childcare during the first few years of life. And many parents would like to stay home with their children and simply can't afford to. Interesting you mentioned Korea; I've actually visited there several times and their focus and priority on family, love, community, respect, humility, consideration, etc. is a whole nother ball game and very different from the US. Even though people throw around those words in the US but its really not practiced 😅 nothing like Korea, that's for sure. It was mind-blowing different in a good way. I think there's a lot of things contributing to the mental health issues in the US but you certainly raise and interesting point.
Great tips, thank you!
