Provision of childcare information
Giving birth to and raising one or more children
The basic options are the same for everyone, but family structures, work modes, and lifestyles vary from individual to individual. Each family has its own sense of values.
Amid changing living environments, social conditions, and the various uncertainties these conditions raise, many media outlets are focusing on the difficulties and challenges of childrearing. At times like this, more than a few fathers and mothers must see childrearing as a major challenge.
