Benefit of Stay at Home Parent

Benefit of Stay at Home Parent

Nature and Nurture is a part of every day life. Every family nurtures their children differently. Some families could nurture their children with a babysitter or daycare provide while both parents work, but in my family we had a stay at home Mom. When I was born, their lives would change forever. My parents decided that it was in Moms best interest to quit her job to help raise our family. This would give mom the freedom to be very involved with our everyday life including school activities, taxing us around, and always being there when we need her most.

This tile project consisted of several hours of work during and after school. All the parent volunteers would put an extra layer of paint on the entire tile and then fire them to make the project complete. The High School always holds an award ceremony on the last week of school at one o’clock p.m. My mom was one of the many parents that would always sit in the crowd and congratulate myself and each of my fellow classmates as we received our awards.

Having a stay at home parent was like having a personal taxi service. With this my mom could take me to school early so I could study with friends prior to class starting. This also gave me an opportunity to speak with my teachers about problems I may have and get assistance. During my junior high and high school years my mom always took me
