    According to the spiritual science women are considered as the direct part and parcel of the lord. The most important thing which substantiate this fact is the capability of women to give birth to a child – a life. This is something next to the lord. They are the special manifestation of the nature who have special characteristics to raise the child unlike men. But, that does not justify the fact that women should keep themselves bereft of work life to raise the child. I strongly disagree with this statement. In my perception, raising children and taking care of them is the responsibility which should be equally taken care by both the parents.

    It is often said that she should not focus on work to raise the child. Does that overlook the the contribution of Home-Maker ladies? Anyway, if women will always be working by office or by home (Home-Maker). So, in my opinion, I barely see any sense that women should not focus on work for child care.

    There are many single mothers who are not left with the choice to stop working just for childcare. They are well capable of handling both the responsibility. The single mothers are the best example of it. Although, this is not at all a easy thing to do. It is indeed a daunting and challenging phase of women’s life.

    In the past few years we are seeing the rapid amendments in the labor laws to support the working mothers. This amendments are to make their life better and also facilitate them with support in the early motherhood days specifically till the time a child matures. So, the laws also framed to encourage them to work. It nowhere means they should stop focusing on their work-life.

    To conclude, I strongly believe that women should not forced to stop focusing on their work life rather they should be supported by their life partners, family members & government regulatory bodies so that they can enjoy the motherhood in the balanced way.

    In today’s era women are the strong pillars of the society. Both men and women are treated equally in every aspect of life.However,many people believe that women should only focus on upbringing of the children and concentrate less on their working life. I completely disagree with this notion as women should not be forced to nurture their children only.

    First of all, women are excelling in each and every field.In the corporate world most of the important positions in company are held by women.For instance,in most of the fortune 500 companies the position of Chief Executive officer are held by women,that depicts women are not mere to up bring their infants.Furthermore,women are playing an important role in politics too. For example, the prime minister of New Zealand(Jacinda Ardern) set new benchmarks for all the nations during the global pandemic.Her policies for curbing corona virus was praised by every nation.

    Another point to consider is that,nowadays both guardians are working.So.its the responsibility of both men and women to maintain a balance between personal and working life.For instance, famous personality couples are usually working but they make sure to nourish their child properly.

    In conclusion,I think both parents should raise their children by balance responsibilities.

    However, the myth that only females are responsible for nourishing their children proved wrong in the above analysis, which is a good step to stop gender discrimination.

    Children across the world are emotionally more attached to its mother. Hence it has been commonly argued that a woman should devote more time for the upbringing of her kids rather then her professional life. However, I strongly disagree with this argument. This essay will discuss my view on the same.

    In the ancient days the women’s literacy rates were quite low because society were strongly against allowing them to work outside. They were always been considered as a homemaker & taking care of their kids. Whereas in the 20th century, the literacy rate of women have now surpassed the number of men. Not only on the Education front, they are also giving a tough competition to men on every professional front. For example in the recent survey of Economic Times, the strength of female Pilots across the world has increased by 10 times in the last decade. Not allowing them to focus on their professional carrier is not only an example of Gender inequality but also unethical.

    Furthermore, the upbringing of a Kid is a mutual responsibility of both parents. While the Kids learn an emotional quality like Love, compassion & care from his mother, he learns the tougher life lesson from his father. The father plays a vital role in developing a kid to face the external world, accompany him for outdoor activities & support on the financial front to fulfill its requirements. The importance of father is now well recognised across the world & because of this many of the developing countries are now giving the parental leave of few weeks to them.

    So in conclusion, the raising of children is not
    only a sole responsibility of a woman and at the cost of her professional carrier. The Father &
    mother both should play a mutual role for upbringing of their kids &
    support each other on both Professional & personal front

    Women are better in doing child care,so they should be focus on raising them and not on their carrers, well a women carries a baby in her womb for 9 months, on that period she focuses on both her baby’s as well as her own health including her responsibilities towards her family also,so just to take care of child and not to focus on her professional life is too harsh on her. Raising a child should be both the parents responsibility. It should be entirely dependent upon women’s opinion ,what she wants to do and what are her priorities. In today’s competitive world everyone wants a to a better life to their families and to have that both the parents are doing their best. Today’s women’s is capable of doing multiple skills and expertise to make a better approach.

    In my opinion working women are having better knowledge and awareness about the environment they live in,home makers are also well talented and handle their challenges very well, but as compared with working mom’s, they are not taken seriously in the society.

      To work or not should be totally her choice not options for her. She too have desires to excel professionally, so if family pressure forces her to restrain herself from doing so,it will adversely effect her,and the family too.

      In my opinion women’s are better at doing things what she feels good, she do it by performing the work given to her by giving her heart and soul to it and makes it a perfect peace of work. It will be in her favour if she is independent to take her own decision . Social security is the need of an hour as per fast changing trends in the society . One can not be fully dependent, I one or other they are talented and take responsibility seriously, so only raising child and no profession life will be harsh on them.

    It is been a hot debate that women are better at childcare than men therefore, they should focus more on raising children and less on their working life. However, I completely disagree with the above statement. Here, in this essay I will be sharing my views regarding the disagreements, with regard to the topic.

    Firstly, both men and women have some specific in-build qualities, the amalgamation of which is very much required for any children’s upbringing and education. For example, women are multi taskers as they are having the quality to run and hold a family by managing different aspects of life, which includes, taking care of the grandparents and in-laws; childcare activities; cooking; marketing; and many more. Whereas, men are responsible to gather the fuel to run the family show by working hard. Thus, children’s gets to learn the qualities and responsibilities from both the parents and it is not restricted to only the Mothers. Moreover, nowadays many men have decided to stay at home to raise children while the woman in the family goes to work.

    Secondly, in past 40 to 50 years there has been a massive paradigm shift for women in the workplace. Now a days many women are often seen holding senior positions in many organizations which includes both private and government bodies. For example, the current Finance Minister of India is Mrs. Nirmala Sitharaman, who is mainly responsible for the fiscal policy of the government of India.

    As, I am blessed to be a proud father of a daughter, in my opinion, women should continue to focus on their careers rather than restricting themselves to only childcare activities and at the same time they should also ensure that their daughters are aware of all the opportunities which are available to them in life.

    As a matter of fact, a child needs affection and caring of both parents as it is a role of both man and woman to raise their children; as a result, children can be nourished properly. For example, if both parents of the children will upbringing, their child while working, then they will learn gender equality.

    Mother and Father plays vital role in upbringing their child, but it is often believed that women usually have a closer sensational relations with their offsprings as she possess an ability of nurturing their child . Some people opines women should spend more time on raising than less time on working life .I agree to a large extent due to some substantial reasons behind this notion.

    To begin with, mothers share better bonding between them and their children as women spend more time with their children than men ,as they are not occupied with job. Mothers nurture their child by imbibing moral values, ethics to them which are the most basic attribute to become good civilized person. To justify with, women takes care of her child from infancy to later age. She is generally more emotionally attached to her children’s concerns like ranging from food to school homework as she is being available all the time for children whenever any sort of help is needed.

    Probing further,women unlike men, in most socities donot take responsibilities of engaging in jobs due to this role of child rearing is a duty of mother.Moreover, children are more comfortable with their mothers while seeking help and guidance because of her soft,kind nature persistent availability.Thereby, mothers are good at parenting than man .Mothers contribute endlessly in child’s cognitive development, providing better quality of education and meals all day.

    To conclude, mothers play more acute role as she inherent a natural quality of caring their child and to be affectionate while teaching them good habits in order to make them disciplined individual.

    In todays modern era women has proved there capability in each area and field. Women are the best leaders and excellent in management I agree women are god gifted for raising children and making them good person but I am totally disagree that they have to less focus on career.

    Raising children is responsibility of both the parents. In old days women use to look after kids and home and men used too work and earn money for home. Now a days situation in society has changed and men and women both are working so, its equal responsibility of parents to raise their kids. Even though women are reaching new heights in each and every field they have to suffer more with house responsibilities .

    I could say we have to raise boy child in a way that they could understand there is no specific work for them and have to contribute in each thing in the house. In these way we can change society perception about type of work men and women has to perform. Now a days society expects women to work and take responsibility of house too and they have to balance of work and family and at the same time men has to just focus on work. I am disagree with these thoughts .

    In my opinion both and women help each other in there career and raising children. It will be good if men will encourage more to women to focus on work and contribute for kids responsibility. women has to get equal chance in there career too as women has taken same efforts to men for education and getting job and its possible with the help of family members. Our laws supports women for right to work and allow required leaves to women when child needs more for mother after the child birth so they can avoid break in career . Same way men has to support women by taking care of kids when required.

    Women are definitely far better at childcare compare with the men however in my opinion other than taking care of children, women can handle any responsibilities equally or sometimes far better than the men in professional life as well.

    In our male dominating society specifically in India, earning money or any sort of outdoor activities belongs to male member of the family whereas all indoor responsibilities such as all house hold works including cooking, cleaning, child care, raising of children etc shall be taken care by female member. Over the period of time, along with these chores women has proved themselves that there is no single thing in the world is difficult for them though female society has paid several years to prove their existence, their talent, caliber to male society.

    Nowadays, there is no single job where women presence is not there. The literacy rate of female population is much higher than the male population. Some industries such IT firm, EPC where women candidates are preferred over male candidates due the women possesses inherent characteristics such as patience, dedication & responsible nature towards work.

    In summary, Women are much superior than the men in all aspects either its Indoor or outdoor activities. Hence limiting women strength for raising children is not justifiable. Its equal responsibility of both individuals.

    There are certain natural qualities that make women better at childcare than men, but in the modern society where most of the women are educated and are working partners, it becomes a topic of hot debate whether the stereotype of women concentrating more on raising children and men earning for the family should be done away with. I have an opinion that women should take the primary child raising role because of their innate abilities, however the roles could be switched too, based on the situation.

    An innate quality that make women better at raising children is their emotional connect with the children and their ability to show love, compassion, empathy and patience. The hormonal characteristics of women make them good at this, while the men show such virtues in lesser scale, they are often hard mannered and doesn’t show much empathy and have much patience. Children in their adolescent years needs to be raised with these virtues, otherwise their character formation may be affected, hence it is evident that many motherless single parent children often grow up to become rude or can have some behavioral issues. Though some men can have this virtues too, or can learn this, but by nature they doesn’t match women on this.

    The modern society of today where women are equally empowered as men, or are catching up swiftly, the jobs and sectors which were previously men only are being handled by women successfully, this calls for a paradigm shift in the erstwhile women only sector too, ie. child raising. Men should share more responsibilities in this area, men can help out the in things like playing, giving food, studies, rhymes, storytelling lullabies etc. It is for the family to decide what is better for them considering the job nature and availability of the partners among others.

    Overall, it can concluded that even though women are better at raising children when compared to men owing to their natural abilities, the men should show more participation in this considering the job nature and other family situation.

    Women aren’t only excellent at caring for children, and also they’re good at work. Yes, they know how to handle infants, for example, baby bathing is not an easy task that could easily be done by women, because of that we can’t derive women should focus more on raising children and less on their working life. In my opinion, Childcare should be taken by both mother and father.

    Firstly, I want to talk about working parents, in this scenario women are doing a great job, they are balancing both office work and housework. Men should support women by helping in chores so that they can take care of children because women are experts at childcare. Understanding children at age below 2 or 3 is very difficult, mother would understand what they say, it is hard to understand by fathers. If it is a weekend parent can share their timing with kids.

    Secondly, women aren’t going to work spend a lot of time with children, the attachment between mother and baby is huge in this scenario. Mostly, women will be tried at end of the day, so that men should take the charge of caring in the evenings for some time meanwhile she will get some leisure time. But we can’t force them to do only childcare, encourage her to do work if she is really interested.

    To conclude, don’t fix it a particular gender, children should need both motherhood and fatherhood. Form born children to 5 year age group mostly are under motherhood after they moved to fatherhood. It is important for fathers to teach their ward how to face the world.

    Women certainly out-stand men when it comes to childcare, consequently a section of society suggests them to concentrate on upbringing of children which they are are good at rather than their professional career , having said that, this excellence should not impede with their freedom of picking up their passionate work life at any given cost.

    Needless to say, a mother’s contribution in raising a newborn to until he becomes an adult is unparalleled. It is wonderful to observe how a mother can anticipate when her child is starving so naturally and with ease. With their eternal mother-child bonding, women can strike a perfect balance of pampering and discipline at the same time in children right from their moment of birth. Doctors also say, children raised primarily by their mothers tend to remain healthier and disciplined.

    Nevertheless, women naturally possess an ability to play multiple roles in life beautifully, which enables women to manage both professional work and children efficiently, and women have excelled at it for generations. In addition, in recent times, men have readily acceded to this challenge of taking equality of upbringing of children and have adopted unique learned techniques from internet to manage kids much more effectively, thereby giving space to women to proportionally participate in their profession life, this definitely creates a win win situation for working parents. Family counsellors quote, women who dedicate time to their professional life are happier, and in turn do better at taking care of their kids and family.

    To sum up, though women are inevitably amazing at taking care of their children as compared to men, I strongly believe the responsibility of raising children should be owned by both parents and women should also pursue their working profession equally.

    It is common belief that women are good at raising children as compared to men ,hence they should give less attention to working. I completely disagree with this statement because it is a preconceived assumption that women should stay at home whereas men should provide food.

    Not only have women achieve success in every field but also have proven their excellent calibre in accomplishment of task assinged to them.Furthermore,women are in general more sincere for duty allotted to them ,therefore they tend to be more hard-working compared to their male counterparts. For example I have seen task forces with women as heads are more likely to succeed .

    secondly in developing and underdeveloped countries not only women are given less opportunities but also they are paid less for the same amount of time and work they put in . Moreover, women are expected to work as well as take care of the household chores from catering to the needs of their growing children to cooking all three meals for the day.For example ,a recent study of health welfare Society of India found that 68% of women in India did not get enough sleep because they were overburdened.

    In conclusion women have always shown their utmost sincerity to accomplish the task given to them even when they have to work hard with less sleep .
