I read an article today that touched on the idea of the woman staying home versus working. An idea the American public has is that if a woman stays home, the child has more personal interaction with her than it would in a daycare. However, with stay at home Mom's, how often is it that they are interacting with their children? In many cases, the mother watches television, does chores, landry, cooks, uses the computer or telephone, etc etc, while their child plays and does their own thing. Might the child be more intellectually stimulated in a day care, where they could engage in activities with other children as well as adults?
