Preventing the need for alternative care


From UN Alternative care document
IV. Preventing the need for alternative care
38. States should ensure opportunities for day care, including all-day schooling,
and respite care which would enable parents better to cope with their overall
responsibilities towards the family, including additional responsibilities inherent in
caring for children with special needs.

A strange request for states. From a state perspective, educating the children in a state school is more beneficial to the state's goals. How many parents have run into conflicts with the state education system. The typical problem is religious views versus the secular approach of the state. This conflict happened in the Marxist states and now in the secular US.

The question is really, what do parents need to cope with? The state would want productive adults to contribute to the economy. Caring for the children with day care and all day schooling should enhance the state's objectives. Hopefully, the family benefits from this approach. From personal experience, I found mom at home to be the best model.
