Who Will Rock the Cradle? ,

I remember one mother who said to her little boy,
“Bring your truck that you brought (to daycare) this morning.” The little
child sighed and said, “What’s the use of bringing it home, Mommy?
I’m here more than I’m home anyway.”

Many daycare advocates have tried to
create a smokescreen or rationalizations, distortions, and outright lies.
They have a seemingly limitless supply of rationalizations to confuse
parents who are considering daycare for their child and to reassure parents
who are already using it.
- “We’re professionals,” they claim.
“We can teach your children better than you can.” (But) parents are the
best teachers in a child’s early years.
- Another rationalization is the
need for peer contact. Infants simply have no need for peer contact.
- You have probably heard the claim
that daycare makes children more independent and more mature. …children
who have been in full-time daycare from their earliest years are more
defiant of adult authority and more likely to use bad language. Daycare
advocates look on the bright side (of this) and report that studies show
that daycare children are more mature.

Studies of the long-term effect of daycare on
children matter, but we must not lose sight of the fact that children’s
feelings now matter, too, even if there were no lasting effects. No one says
to an adult, “Why complain about working for the next ten years at a job you
hate. After all, it won’t have any permanent effect on you and you’ll be
retiring at 65 anyway.”

The trend to put daycare
centers on-site at the workplace is unfortunate because it
puts all employees at risk. This risk is
particularly great for pregnant women, who may bear a deaf or mentally
retarded child if they contract cytomegalovirus, and for older employees and
those with chronic medical conditions.
