Singapore is a small country that relies heavily on human resources to support its economy. Therefore, human labour is very precious to the country. As a result, parents become too busy with their work to take good care of their kkchildren. With professional parenting in Singapore, parents will be able to lighten their workload and their children in the meantime will be taken care of wonderfully. However, there are always pros and cons of professional parenting. Children may not be as close as to their parents before as they spent most of their time with professional parents than their biological ones.

With the availability of professional parenting, professional parents will share the burden of the biological parents by helping them take care for their children when they are busy at work. This will allow them to focus on their job and work effectively without having to worry about their children. In the meantime, their children also benefit from it. They have a companion for the whole of the day without having to feel lonely or bored. They will also have the opportunity to learn new things from professional parents which they may not do so from their parents as they are too busy with their work.

On the other hand, there are disadvantages of having professional parenting. Children will spend most of their time with professional parents and thus they will feel much closer to them than their biological parents who are busy at work. When there is something wrong with the children, the professional parents will be the first to know as they are always with them. They will try to help the children and naturally the children will think that they are more caring then their own parents and will prefer to be with them and not their biological parents.

In conclusion, I feel that even though professional parenting has pros and cons, it is still the way to go for Singapore. This is because Singapore has a tight labour market which cannot afford to lose anymore human resources. Therefore, professional parenting will solve the problem of parents quitting their jobs to take care of their children.
