Impact Of Early Education

The journey to raise a child is an emotional roller coaster ride and it requires enormous amounts of understanding, patience, and hard work. The challenges during these transitions are different for working parents, and more so, for a working mother.
In today’s world of convenience, there are lots of options which come to the rescue for such parents. Many times, the grandparents wilfully turn up to support for a few months to a few years in some cases. Another option being full-time nannies however has its own pros and cons. The most common option, especially in cities, are either daycares or crèche. Daycares do unburden the mothers to some extent.
However, a new challenge comes into picture when the child starts daycares. It’s called the Guilt - Phase for working mothers. Mothers are subject to ridiculous levels of pressure to get things right that leads to unwarranted anxieties and guilt. Mothers are overwhelmed with the guilt of not being able to spend enough time with the little bundle of their joys. They feel left out in those 7-8 hours and miss out on many precious moments. They are constantly worried whether their kid is eating well, sleeping well, not getting hurt. All in all, whether they are happy enough, sometimes, they even miss out on important things like first steps, first sentences. The kids learn and grow very fast in schools, especially when they are with other kids. This is not just a women’s issue any more since the changing nature of our financial environment necessitates a two - income household.
Technology in Early Education – An Integral Part of Teaching
Using technology in early education is rapidly be-coming an integral part of teaching children the essential skills they need to form the basis for future learning. Many daycares provide a live streaming option, which is very helpful. Parents can check on their kid’s time to time. Again, hogging on the live stream might not be a very con venient solution. It starts hampering work life when parents keep checking live stream. In fact, checking on their kid’s routine is not practically possible on a live stream.

On analyzing these solutions provided by modern-day daycares or crèche, one thing becomes very clear that efficient use of technology is absent in this area.
