Parenting today is not the same
as it used to be. In fact, today’s parents are faced with many challenges that
previous generations did not have to contend with. What are some of these challenges
and how to overcome them? Let us go over these and consider them on a
case-by-case basis.
The first and foremost of these
childcare challenges is the fact that more households today have two working
parents. That leaves no one to take care of the children. The trend for both
the father and the mother to work is one that is bound to continue due to
social and economic reasons. Additionally, people are retiring at later ages.
That makes it more difficult for the grandparents to take care of the kids.
