Question: Brad and Hanna are expecting their third child in a few months. For their first two children, Han... Brad and Hanna are expecting their third child in a few months. For their first two children, Hanna quit work for five years to raise the kids until they were old enough for preschool. This time off hurt Hanna's career advancement as a graphic design specialist. Hanna has been working now for around six years and her career once again is about to take off. She is very excited about her career. This pregnancy, however, was not planned. Due to Hanna's sacrifices, Brad did quite well in his career. Currently, he is a junior partner in a CPA firm and he's the odds on favorite to get the next senior partner position. If he takes off for an extended period (6 months or more) for this child, he believes the senior partners will see the move as a lack of commitment to the firm. All of the senior partners sacrificed family involvement for their careers, why shouldn't Brad? Senior partnership means much more money and prestige. Hanna and Brad agree that one of them should take time off to raise the child for at least a year, but who? Hanna feels she's sacrificed her career already and now it's Brad's turn. She wants a chance to be successful in her career. He has had his chance. Brad disagrees. Hanna's previous sacrifice has gotten him to where he is today. If he makes this sacrifice, he feels Hanna's sacrifice would be wasted. Therefore, Brad thinks Hanna should stay home with the baby.

Question 1) Who should take off: Brad or Hanna? Explain

Explanation / Answer

The child needs both mother and father especially in the early years of life . But most importantly a child needs his/her mother the most. Mother is the one who will take care of child , feed him , and also early years of life experience with mother i.e. the primary care giver for the child is the most important period for child development . The mother can provide with basic necessities . For instance from birt till one year the child develops sense of trust or mistrust. If the child is alone and ignored by the primary caregiver all the times in these years , he will develop a sense of mistrust and always believe that the world is full of bad people who can not be trusted . On the other hand if the child gets support from the primary caregiver al the times during these years he will develop a sense of trut and will eventually become a self confident and truting individual.

Therefore it is important for both the parents to be there for the child for healthy growth and development but Hana’s presence is more important than Brad’s presence.
