Diminishing Returns !
The daycare has helped Kiyan (my son) in increasing his social skills. He no longer has any stranger anxiety. He has learnt to eat with a spoon , drink water/milk with a glass and many such skills. They also make a lot of creative arty stuff. I also strongly believe that schools are not only for academic education but they help in developing many other social skills. I can never understand the concept of home schooling. I definitely miss being with my baby for the whole day but I also realize that the 4 hrs I spend with him every day are far more joyful and qualitative for both of us than the 10-12 hrs we used to be together every day.Most of the new moms won’t say this openly but I am pretty sure that most of them would resonate with me :)
Beautiful insights! Motherhood is a unique experience and it stays much longer than anything else in life. But I also believe that there should be balance of attachment and detachment for any relationship to be enjoyable and enriching!
