dc.description.abstractIdeally, children are brought up well when both wife and husband give substantial attention to their children. However, due to the increase in economic demands, in major cities and growing towns in the world, there is an increasing number of couples both in paid employment. This makes the couples to leave their homes before children wake up and return to the homes when children are actually retiring to bed. This increasing trend in both couples working has led to children being raised by care-takers or house-helps. This phenomena is raising a concern, as one wonders, do the house-helps possess the spiritual values that need to be imparted on children? Is the phenomenon of raising children through care-takers the best model? What can be done so that children, from working couples, are raised in a holistic manner? This article explores ways that can help bring up a child in a holistic way faced with challenges of work. The research used exploratory qualitative design targeting working couples. The findings were that house-helps need training for proper child-upbringing and that couples need to be available for their children. The implication of the research is that policy makers need to design appropriate programs in building capacity for house-helps, policies for conducive work environment for raising children and programs that would help families to balance work and family.en_US
