Aoa and good afternoon to my respected teachers and R.

D Sir, to my seniors
and to my fellow students.
My name is Imran maqsood and I am from m.a elt first semester. The topic I
am going to speak on, is really thought provoking and has been debated for
decades.
The topic is Should women having preschool children go to work?
My stance is that they should not.
Men and women are the building blocks of the society and they enjoy equal
rights, but nature has assigned them different roles to perform in the society.
His duties include to take care of the financial matters and her sacred duties
include to grow up the children and to educate them. This is also true
according to Islamic teachings that men are the breadwinners and women
are the homemakers.

In this modern era where luxuries become necessities of life, there is an
extra financial burden on men and women especially married. So, to cope
with the situation they both have to work. But mother as a primary
caregiver, has the fundamental responsibility to look after their children.
This is also the birth right of every children, to be nurtured, groomed and
grown up by their own mothers instead of anybody else. And if mothers
wont look after their own children then who will????

Early years are pivotal for the attachment and growth of the children. There
are different stages of childrens development and Different skills like
cognitive, linguistic, psychosocial, behavioural and physical domains can be
more productively developed at certain stages and the abilities acquired at
one stage persist to later stages. Primary caregivers especially mothers play
a key role in the development of all these traits and influencing children at
an early age.

Psychologists agree that if there is less one on one contact between primary
caregiver and children, it severely effects childrens growth and
development. Flaws and deficiencies at early stages cannot be undone and
later investment in childrens life will always have diminishing effect.
As Penelope Leach a British psychologist says,
"What I am more concerned about are the early years. If children don't have
an opportunity to attach with someone and trust them, then it's a disaster."


Its not just the question of childrens health but it is also related to women
health. There is burning sense of injustice with women. Women look after
the children and do other household work as well and if we put an extra
burden of job on them. It will be really unjust and unfair with them.

Whatever Ive just said before, I mean every bit of it. I did the same thing in
my real life. I am married and have a daughter. My wife started a job after
marriage, but she resigned two months before the birth of our daughter and
we mutually decided that. Now she is six months old and my wife is at
home looking after her. So this isnt just a mere speech for me but it is what
I truly believe.

History bears testimony to the fact that whenever human being try to go
against the nature it always has bad effects on humans life in one way or
the other. Motherhood is the crowning glory of every women but if they
dont perform this duty they are doing irreparable damage to the personality
and the development of the children. So the bottom line is financial gaps can
be filled later in life but if there is any flaw or deficiencies in the
development of children it cannot be filled later on. Make decisions that you
dont have to regret later in life.
