A study by Schwarz et al. found that three- and
four-year-olds who had been in daycare since the early months of life were
more physically and verbally abusive with adults and peers than of
home-reared counterparts.
A Bermuda study of two-year-olds found that all those who had started group
care in infancy were later rated as more maladjusted when studied at three
to five years of age than those cared for at home…

Some time ago I interviewed psychologist
Byrna Siegel at Stanford University for a magazine article I was writing.
Siegel has spent more than 1,000 hours observing children in daycare. Less
equivocal than some other psychologists, Siegel said that she believes
“we are altering the cultural fabric” in this society with the mass exodus
of children into daycare. Siegel feels that children who are growing up
without a close maternal bond will someday engage in fewer marriages and
incur more divorces.

I have spoken with others in the mental health
profession who wonder if we are not foolishly experimenting with a
generation of children when we, in this country, advocate daycare for the
very young. One, who teaches at Harvard Medical School, told me that he
predicts that many hospital beds in psychiatric wards of the future will be
filled with those currently growing up without a close bond to parents.

This should not be. We must work to change
cultural attitudes toward mothering in this country. We must speak up for
those inarticulate babies who enter daycare in the first months of life.

A 1974 study by Schwartz, Strickland and Krolick
of three- and four-year-olds…found youngsters with extensive infant daycare
experience more aggressive, both physically and verbally, with adults and
peers; less cooperative with grownups; and excessively physically active.
In that same year (1974), Barton and Schwartz studied three- and
four-year-olds who had been placed in daycare before the twelfth month.
These children were rated by their peers and teachers as “more likely to
cry,” “more likely to be troublemakers,” “more likely to withdraw and
internalize,” and “more likely to be loners.”
