Who Will Rock the Cradle? ,
Edited by Phyllis Schlafly, ©1989, Page 47 |
…the mother-infant bond, which actually begins to
form during the mother’s pregnancy, is unique and cannot be fully
substituted by even the most sensitive and caring surrogate mother figures.
Much less can it be substituted for by even the best-trained day caretakers,
who may also be responsible for several or more other outplaced children who
make time-consuming and often enervating demands.

Daycare facilities vary from relatively
good small groups with interested, caring adult supervisors to large, poorly
run groups conducted by poorly trained and ill motivated individuals with
little or no interest in the children other than to control their behavior,
leading in not a few cases to actual child neglect and abuse…
In both situations, however, the adult caretakers lack the emotional
bonding with the children that only the natural family’s parents can
provide.
…the outplacement of young children in daycare with adult strangers, no
matter how caring they may be, has negative long-term effects on their
overall growth and development.

A study by Schwartz of daycare and home-reared
infants found that those babies who began daycare during the first year of
life were more likely to avoid their mothers during reunion episodes of the
Strange Situation* than those babies raised at home by their mothers.
Finally, another study by Barglow et al. of affluent families in the Chicago
area found that, when babies were placed in out-of-home care during the
first year of life for 20 + hours per week, they displayed more avoidance of
their mothers than those babies cared for by their mothers at home.
*The primary way of measuring an infant’s attachment
relationship is a laboratory experiment called the “Strange Situation”,
created in the late 1960s by psychologist Mary Ainsworth
