If your mother is working, it is not only good for her financial independence and running of the house but also it is good for the kids' growth.
A new study has suggested that young children whose parents both go out to work develop faster than those with stay-at-home mothers.
These young kids benefit from spending time at nursery or with grandparents while their mother goes to work, the study – carried out by academics from the University of Oxford and the London School of Economics – showed.
On the contrary, children of stay-at-home mothers tend to be less advanced at talking, social skills and everyday tasks like getting dressed.
Children are often exposed to more stimulating activities at nursery. Attending nursery delivered a 10% positive impact on everyday skills, while more time with grandparents led to a five per cent boost in talking and 10% better social skills, according to the study.
