Children inherently need their parents. No daycare provider can guarantee the safety, security, love, admiration, and education of a child like the parents. Children, in many cases, actually need their parents more as they get older. Middle school aged children are often affected by inappropriate peer influences, lack of parental involvement, and a lack of insight into the consequences of their actions. Parents are solely responsible for providing the most thorough, morally appropriate, and influential information that their children will receive on a daily basis and apply in their lives.
