      After a few months at home with a much loved infant, they feel trapped and isolated.
     There are a number of options when it $(5)$________  to choosing childcare. These range from child minders and nannies throung to Granny or the kind lady $(6)$________ the street. $(7)$________ , however, many parents dont'n have any choice; they have to accept anything they can get. Be prepared! No matter how good the childcare may be, some children are going to  protest wildly if they are left. This is a $(8)$________  normal stage of child development. Babies separate well in the first six months, but soon after that they start to get crush on Mum and close family members. Make sure that in the first wwek you allow plenty of time to help your child settle in.

      Remember that if you want to  $(9)$________ the best for your children, it's not the quantity of time you spend with them, it's the $(10)$________ that matters.
