"Effects on Child Behavior of Mothers Working Outside The Home: A Literature Review
Introduction: Topic Identification
Recently, television and print media in the United States reported research by Mary Eberstadt (2001) indicating that the children of mothers who worked outside the home displayed behavioral problems far more frequently than the children of mother who stayed at home. Eberstadt (2001) concluded that the causal source of the problem was a combination of day care and an absence of maternal contact and supervision.
The issue reported by Eberstadt (2001) is important, and, while her findings may be valid, the failure of the media to fully identify her background and that of the journal that published her work indicates a need to explore the issue..."

Abstract
Given the economic realities of twenty-first century North American society, the traditional nuclear family model - working father, homemaker mother - is no longer a sustainable unit. Since the 1970s mothers have increasingly worked outside the home, both full-time and part-time, in order to provide their families with added income. However, as this paper will argue, the phenomenon of working mothers is a dilemma for modern women as they are torn between the demands of paid work and the demands of child care. Inadequate daycare services, and the continuation of traditional (sexist) models of the division of housework, have led to increased levels of dissatisfaction among working mothers.

From the Paper
"Working mothers are faced with the need to balance work and family. Often, working mothers experience problems both at work and at home. The husbands and children of working women often have difficulties in adjusting to the situation. Working mothers are also faced with the problems of obtaining adequate day-care for their younger children. Many experts agree that day-care is an important aspect in the life of the child. In order for a child to be both physically and emotionally healthy, its day-care facilities must provide a safe and positive environment. Researchers have noted that employees are less effective on the job if they are worried about their children. Therefore, Ellen Galinsky of the Families and Work Institute has claimed that "an employee may not be an effective worker if he or she is worried about child care" (White, 1991, p. D4). This shows that ..."

Abstract
An essay on the struggles of women who work at night. Choosing night work so they can care for their families during the daytime. Myth of the nuclear family, and ideal role of women in the home. Economic issues. Personal problem of focusing on others while ignoring their own needs and desires.
From the Paper
"Anita Ilta Garey, in Wharton, writes of the economic, physical, psychological, social and familial struggles of women who work at night and raise families in the daytime. These women work because their families need the money, and they work at night because it allows them to fulfill the responsibilities of being mothers and wives during the day. The most interesting parts of Garey's essay to me have to do with the ideals which women are pursuing as they work at night and raise a family by day, and the role that the 2000 census, as a current event still playing a role in defining America, plays in this set of circumstances. Basically, Garey says that the women are pursuing the ideal of the traditional nuclear family, which portrays the woman/mother/wife as a stay-at-home stabilizer on the domestic front while the husband/father goes to work in the daytime.

"ABSTRACT
The proposed research project will explore the issue of stress experienced by working mothers in relation to family/work conflicts. The goals of the proposed research project are to (1) accurately identify the sources of anxiety and stress experienced by working mothers in relation to conflicts between family and organizational responsibilities, and (2) identify feasible organizational responses to the problem sources.

Abstract
This paper is a proposal for a study that, in contrast to many earlier studies, hypothesizes that, as more and more mothers have entered the workforce, both women and business have had to change in order to accommodate the trend. The paper explains that the purpose of the study is to shed some light on the fundamental relationship between family and business in a working mother?s life and suggests that understanding this relationship will help further our understanding of society as a whole. The types of variables used, data collected, literature on the subject, and methodology to be employed are described as well.
From the Paper
"The challenges, due to the increase in working mothers, has continued year after year, for more than five decades, and continues to this day. As the mother is still the foundation of most children?s lives, it is imperative to see how this change will affect our future generations. As these same women become an even more important cog in the American workplace machinery, our understanding of how they affect business can only lead to increased efficiency and efficacy."

Working Mothers and Child Development, 2004.
An analysis of the relationship between maternal employment and child development.
1,807 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how there is a clear relationship identified between the level of parental involvement in children?s education and their level of academic achievement and how, while a relatively new research area, there has been increasing evidence identified that suggests that the quality of these links influences children's and adolescents' academic success. It is the hypothesis of this paper that these effects will tend to fade as children grow older, and this paper provides a critical review of the scholarly literature, followed by a discussion of the findings. A summary of the research is presented in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The comforting family images of ?Father Knows Best,? ?Ozzie and Harriet,? and ?Leave it to Beaver,? have served to characterize the popular image of the American family for many people. The father worked, the mother vacuumed in high heels and pearls and the kids were sometimes mischievous but basically good. According to Arlene and Jerome Skolnick, though, this image of a typical American family was not only inaccurate, it helped to create a popular misconception about how families should be, instead of how they actually are. These unrealistic expectations have caused untold problems in families throughout the country as the members struggle to fit into the pattern and become frustrated when they do not measure up."

Communication Between Mother and Child, 2002.
Examines the mother-child relationship, focusing on brain development, attachment and bonding.
6,032 words (approx. 24.1 pages), 17 sources, APA, $ 142.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the complex workings of the brain and the effect brain development has on the communication capacity of an infant. It examines how a mother's brain activity affects the unborn child, as well as the emotional bond formed in the early years of a child's life. The paper shows that if the mother-child bond is fully developed, the child forms a secure attachment, which allows for better intellectual and socio-emotional development. The paper explores several subjects related to brain development, attachment and bonding and the process of developing communication capacity. It ends with a discussion of the 'Healthy Families' Indiana program, discussing how this program attempts to help parents in this complex and difficult process.
From the Paper
"There is other evidence that this six-month period is crucial to language development. Kuhl (Hochberg, 1997) reported on language studies with Japanese and American infants dealing with distinctions between the "Ra" sound and the "la" sound. Both sets of infants were able to distinguish between these sounds at the age of six months. However, by the age of one year, the Japanese children were no longer able to do so. Because Japanese does not distinguish between these two sounds, their brains had discarded the neural connections that helped them distinguish between the two sounds. They were unneeded for their particular language learning. Certainly this has implications for bilingual development. It is during this period of time, according to Kuhl, that the brain is being organized in order to prepare itself for a specific language."

Mother to Child Transmission of AIDS, 2008.
This paper discusses the problem of mother to child transmission of AIDS in Africa and looks at a possible solution.

Abstract
The writer notes that from a humanitarian point of view, as well as from an economic point of view, it would seem appropriate that authorities should endeavour to protect the most innocent of all innocent victims - new born babies. The writer then discusses that the existence of effective drugs offers the possibility of saving literally millions of newborns from the horrible fate of being born with AIDS. Thus, it would seem that curbing mother to child transmission of AIDS (MTCT) with the use of antiretrovirals should be the top priority of governments in sub-Saharan Africa. This would be the most humane and cost-effective way of coping with the AIDS crisis in the medium to long term. Yet this is not the case. This essay seeks to examine the extent to which MTCT is being combated in sub-Saharan Africa, the reasons for this lack of commitment and to come up with suggestions to improve the situation.

From the Paper
"The last-mentioned factor brings us to another problem that complicates the issue of MTCT in Africa. There is some controversy over the issue of nursing, as some studies have indicated that HIV is not transmitted in this way, while others have suggested that in poverty-stricken communities, the benefits of breast milk outweigh the risks posed by possible MTCT of AIDS. The problem is that - unlike in North America - in sub-Saharan Africa countless numbers of babies die of malnutrition, or from infectious diseases. Breast milk provides some measure of protection from both of these, as it is an ideal source of nutrition, and also passes the mother's antibodies to infants. Thus, it is extremely difficult to know whether to advise HIV positive mothers not to nurse - more harm may be done than good."

Outline:
Introduction
The Importance of Quality Parenting vs. Quantity Parenting
Comparison of Stay-at-home Mothers and Working Mothers
Cultural Parenting
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the past decade, different parenting styles across cultures and the quality parenting displayed by both stay-at-home mothers and working mothers has emerged as a significant concern among parents, educators, and policy-makers alike. This concern over the topic regarding the differences in quality parenting and quantity parenting has been spurred by the problems raised by the educational system and police departments. Delinquent acts committed by children have become a major issue in the United States; in Southern California the public has been overwhelmed with stories from the media, providing graphic evidence of a crime wave generated by our youth who, according to media reports, are victims of poor parenting styles."
