3. Promotes Independence in Your Children
Studies have shown that many stay-at-home moms tend to hover over their children while they are growing up. It’s easy to fall into this type of parenting style simply because you are always there with your kids.
For example, you might try and resolve the disagreement for the kids when you hear the kids squabbling. Since moms who stay home to raise the kids, it is easy for them to begin over-parenting.
In fact, stay-at-home moms tend to do more for their children than moms who work, because they have more time on their hands. It is also faster and easier to perform some tasks on your own rather than expecting your kids to do them.
As a result, parents who stay at home to raise their children help them with simple and complex tasks rather than encouraging them to complete them on their own. Instead of learning to become independent and self-reliant, children in this type of home remain dependent on the parent who is at home with them. Moms who choose to work from home encourage independence in their children, simply because they don’t have the luxury of time that they used to have.
