by the working women. The factors which were found
significant in playing their role are joint family system,
supportive husband, teaching children by themselves,
using different sources to teach the children, allowing
children to play outside, taunting the children, taking care
of the health of their children by taking care of different
factors, providing the proper medical and educational

INTRODUCTION
The care of the child is basically the caring and
supervision of children and the age of children usually
range from 6 weeks to 13 years. It is basically the skill
of looking after children by different methods like by
mother, or day-care center and by babysitter, or other
providers. It is a wide topic which covers the wide
spectrum of context, activities which include both social
and cultural conventions, and institutions. The causal
assumption of these theoretical studies is that there must
be some kind of negative impact of working mothers
on children. However, there exists significant kind of
inconsistencies in the results of these researches regarding
of showing both positive and negative impacts of maternal
work on the progress of children (Pleck, 1985; Thompson
& Walker, 1990). Mother worked until 10 p.m. Mother
works night shift and is home all day. Father takes care of
the children if he works at night. If mother is working as
teacher, she comes to the home and leaves it at the same
time as children do it. The children of the age under 1
called who have got a good and sensitive care from their
mothers are very much associated to them and they are
most of the times able to get comfort from their mothers
when needed. These infants use their mothers care as
the secure base to explore their characteristics to the
environment (Bowlby, 1969, 1982). Though in America,
Children who attend childcare systems have a higher risk
of externalizing the symptoms of negative social behavior,
exhibiting these traits can directly correlate with their
time spent in the center (Dewar, 2013). It has been found
that early entry in the day care centers had an association
with less social capability, but only in the case of those
children who have the apprehensive attachments to their
mothers (Bates et al., 1994). Previous research suggests
that entry age at the day care centers may be as significant
to mothers to their children. The age of their youngest kid
is an important variable in the satisfaction of the women
with paid work, and job during the first year of a life of
the baby is sometimes satisfactory to the mother (Briscoe,
1996). The quality and the quantity of the contact and
relationship between non residential parents and children,
usually fathers, tend to come down over the period of
