Early Childcare: Infants
and Nations at Risk by Dr. Peter Cook, ©1996,
Part Two, The Needs of Mothers and their Infants;
Chapter 2, Meeting the Optimum Needs of Infants and their Mothers, P51 |
What is missing in the child-care
debate?
...Love, affection, joy, delight, mothering and mother love have similarly
disappeared from the child-care vocabulary, to be replaced by care,
parenting, stimulation and even day centre "educare", which one American
professorial day care advocate regards as a need (!) of every young child
for optimal development.
...Baby's point of view and that of infants is missing from the language of
day care advocacy

and Nations at Risk by Dr. Peter Cook, ©1996,
P52 |
Everyday
experiences with mother or father are missing. This aspect of day care is
not often mentioned. Infants or young children in long day care are, for the

Unintended consequences of early
child care
"High quality" or often just "quality" care is supposed to be sufficient for
up to 10 hours of the infant's day, five days a week for up to five years by
the age of five. If this is "educare", what is an infant boy or girl
learning about the world, its people and his or her place in it? A
professional relationship cannot require attachment, intimacy, kissing,
cuddling and love, nor even much carrying, let alone the comfort of
breastfeeding.
