No, they don't need it.
I have several cousins who have bred. Most are average (as in, equally good and bad parenting), one is a PNB who should teach parenting classes, and two are the kind of breeders that make us hurl. One is divorced and one is a welfare moo with three shitlings by three different fathers. Both of the latter have deadbeat sperm donors.
The divorced one was babbling the other day about the tax credit thing every American is supposed to get and how she is trying to figure out if she should get a Playstation 3 or a Wii with it because "the PS2 is going to break soon". The little shitlings think they need both because they have friends with rich parents and teenaged siblings that forced them to buy both systems.
"So tell them to go without. They barely use it anyway. They're always watching their movie collection."
"No, Sarasa, they HAVE TO HAVE IT."
Bullshit. Children do not HAVE TO HAVE fucking anything except the necessities.
"No, they don't."
"YES, they do. What do you know about what my children need??"
"How about teaching them to fucking read, Amanda??"
Then I was treated to a ten-minute spiel on how she will not be one of those parents who "forces my children to sit in their rooms with books all day long". Supposedly, my aunt did that to her and her siblings because she required them to read for a half hour a day. What a fucking crime! Then again, I was the one always getting my ass chewed for slowing down everyone else with my reading. family dinners at Sorcha and Bruce's house was always to the tune of my uncle bellowing "Sarasa, get your nose out of that Nancy Drew book and get your ass to the table!!"
She will be another of those parents who fully blames the school system for her shitlings turning out into complete idiots. Mark my words.
