10. • Sample 1– Many parents in full-time employment prefer to leave their children
with grandparents when they are at work because they feel their child will be safer
with someone from within the family circle. In other words, they do not trust a
stranger to look after their child and feel confident that no harm will come to the
child whilst being looked after by grandma or grandpa. For example, a 2013 study
from Cambridge University showed that 62% of working mothers prefer a member
of the immediate family to provide care when they are at work.
• Sample 2– Grandparents are the best people to look after children for very
obvious reasons. Grandparents really love their grandchildren and would never
harm them. Also, the children really love their grandparents and feel comfortable
with them. Finally, grandparents have lots of experience taking care of children
because they are old and looked after children for many years themselves.
