A child always needs care and affection from their parents and family members. Parental care does matter in child's life. If children do not get adequate care, it will affect their future life and education. But in today scenario, it becomes hard for parents to work outside for their livelihood and also give full time to their children. Now days, parents take help from different type of day care centres and school for rearing their children. As a result children spend more time in these centres than home. In this paper we will compare between parental and non-parental care settings and its effects on developmental outcomes of children. This paper also adds awareness among parents and society regarding proper child care practices. So that our children can get proper care and develop full potential in their future life.

Abstract


A child always needs care and affection from their parents and family members. Parental care does matter in child's life. If children do not get adequate care, it will affect their future life and education. But in today scenario, it becomes hard for parents to work outside for their livelihood and also give full time to their children. Now days, parents take help from different type of day care centres and school for rearing their children. As a result children spend more time in these centres than home. In this paper we will compare between parental and non-parental care settings and its effects on developmental outcomes of children. This paper also adds awareness among parents and society regarding proper child care practices. So that our children can get proper care and develop full potential in their future life.
