Working example

The fact that the mother of a child of 3-5 years old works does not negatively affect his development. Moreover, for girls, a working mother is even the best option.

Good news for mothers who love their job and leave for it…often suffering from guilt towards their own child in the process. Children aged 3-5 who have both parents working feel no worse than those whose mothers stay at home*. An even more interesting fact: if for a boy a working mother is at least not so bad, then for a girl it is the best option! Girls whose mothers go to work are more attentive than the daughters of housewives, they are less likely to experience fears and worry less. Perhaps the example of an active, enthusiastic mother especially inspires her daughters?
