Many parents like yourself are genuinely concerned and are taking control of their children’s future. In an October 10, 2004, a 60 Minutes report revealed that a Census bureau statistics show a 15 percent increase in the number of stay-at-home moms in less than 10 years. But this is not limited to moms only. According to a 2002 report by the U.S. Census Bureau, "stay-at-home" dads numbered 189,000. Although this number does not compare to the approximate 11 million "stay-at-home moms" the trend of one parent staying at home and raising their children is on the increase. The 60 minute report also stated that many successful women are choosing to quit their jobs to stay at home and raise their children.
Parents do not need to quit their jobs nor do they need a formal education to have an impact in the training and education of their children. There is nothing that can replace the bond between parent and child especially children between infancy and 6 years of age. Parents can help in the educational and developmental skills of their children simply by introducing educational toys into their child's daily play. Educational toys are a great way for parents to interact with their children and have fun at the same time.
