Problems of Children with Working Mothers in Wasit Governorate and How to Reduce Them

Abstract

In spite of the countless developments that have occurred in our society and the entry of women into the field of work and their contribution in most sectors, they still suffer from their problems within the institution in which they work and their performance and other problems within the family environment in which they live. All problems affect performance within the family and at work. The research sample consisted of (150) kindergarten teachers, who were chosen randomly. The results were analyzed using the statistical package (SPSS), and the results were obtained. There are psychological and behavioral problems that arise among the children of working mothers, and there is a correlation between the mother’s work and the children’s problems. One of the most important recommendations of the current research is to create appropriate environmental conditions for the children of working mothers. Regarding the conclusions of the study, it has been shown that there are psychological problems among the children of working mothers, and this results from the mother being away from home for long hours, and the presence of behavioral problems resulting from the child’s emotional deprivation, psychological pressure, the child’s lack of experience, and his lack of awareness of how to deal with problems.
