Children with a stay-at-home-parent advantages - is it a strong thesis?

It takes a certain type of person to decide to be a stay at home parent; and, in this day and age it is a luxury. I believe that children with a stay at home parent have advantages over children where both parents must work.

Hi Laurel!

Yes, indeed, this is a very strong thesis! I would certainly write about it. Have you any detailed information concerning this problem? Have you searched the Internet yet to find some hard data concerning the differences between the education received where the student has a stay-at-home parent as opposed to not having one? This would certainly be an eye-opener, as many school-aged children (here, I am referring to younger children) are latch-key children; they carry the keys to their houses around their necks!

Sure, you already have an excellent thesis statement; now expound on it and write something that will show us how well you can command the English language. I will look forward to reading your essay on this site.

Well the internet research is my next step. I do have much personal experience to pull from. I was a latch key kid and my childhood was anything but easy. My oldest child was also a latch key child and he posed many challenges to us; however, my two youngest have had an opportunity to be at home with me and just seem to have better overall values and confidence. I do thank you for your feedback.

Laurel,

Excellent! You have two worlds from which to pull experiences! You can relate to the child, as well as the adult mind, which will prove to be a good essay. Again, I will look forward to reading it.

Good luck!

Mark
