It’s little wonder that parents are perplexed about what approach to take to child rearing. Today’s world is one which makes parenting exceedingly difficult. In many industrialised countries, the majority of mothers of preschool children are in the workforce, though not always through choice. This group in particular tends to lament the lack of practical advice for parents in their child-rearing roles. Many parents simultaneously complain that they’re busier than ever and that due to the growing demands of their jobs, they have little time for their children. Nations of pressured, preoccupied parents have emerged in an era of grave public concern for the well-being of youth.

• Some of the issues are contradictory in nature.

• They are understandable given the challenges of modern life.

• They cause a disproportionate amount of stress in family relationships.

• The balance between work and family life is only a secondary problem.
