The Day Care Decision
What's Best for You and Your Child
by William & Wendy Dreskin,
© 1983, p
34 |
Some researchers and many advocates of full-time day care have claimed that
studies prove that day care is harmless or even beneficial to children's
emotional development, and this message has frequently been repeated in
books and magazine articles. This is far from the truth.

Because
of the substantial limitations on research, parents must be very wary of
false claims that the scientific community has given day care a clean bill
of health. Most of us would not want the Food and Drug Administration to
adopt a policy that new drugs could be introduced on an "innocent until
proven guilty" basis.
Without the safeguards of extensive trials...and controlled clinical studies
... a new medication could have harmful effects...
But of course, there has been no equivalent certification of day care
prior to its adoption.
Day care as it exists is the experiment; and how soon we will be able to
accurately measure its effects on emotional development is unknown.

Unfortunately, the information that does exist about the potentially
harmful effects of full-time day care has frequently been distorted or
suppressed, because day care has become a political issue. The choices
of what aspects of day care are studied, how the studies are designed, and
how the data is interpreted are subject to tremendous pressure from
political and ideological forces in the women's movement as well as pressure
from a growing day care industry.
