Who Will Rock the Cradle?
Edited by Phyllis Schlafly, ©1989,
Page 8 & 14 |
… it is easy to prove that the good home care of
children is better for them and the nation at large than good institutional
care.
Hence, it is only with state subsidy, direct and indirect, that
institutional daycare becomes rational economic behavior for many American
families.
If the Federal Government taxes home production and subsidizes daycare, you
will see fewer mothers-at-home and more institutionalized children.

Who Will Rock the Cradle?
Edited by Phyllis Schlafly, ©1989, Pages 18-19 |
…a very worrisome pile of research is
now accumulating which suggests that when the very young go into extensive
non-parental care, many—possibly most of them—will suffer emotional and
intellectual harm.
…symptoms found in recent studies include low self-esteem, sharply increased
aggressiveness (kicking and biting, etc.), weak child-parent bonds, poor
social skills, and poor academic performance. These things have been found
to occur not just where the daycare is of low
quality—as most daycare is, and always will be when it is provided on a
mass, institutional scale…

Who Will Rock the Cradle?

One of the dirty little secrets of the current
daycare debate—something that comes as a great surprise to persons who have
taken their cues only from media reports and daycare activists—is that for
many years, pediatricians, psychiatrists and child development experts have
been warning that serious risks result when children are separated from
their parents for significant blocks of time at a young age.
Common sense could have taken us more speedily to much the same place that
ponderous research is now leading. To me, it is astonishing, really, that so
many of us ever convinced ourselves that it is not necessary to actually
talk to, teach, hold and comfort our babies ourselves, that we could leave
those things to (others)…
