Early Childcare: Infants
and Nations at Risk by Dr. Peter Cook, ©1996,
Part Three, Research into Outcomes of Early child
Care; Chapter 5, Six Subsequent Studies Showing Risks, P92 |
(The meta-analysis by Violato and
Russell) also found that "males tended to fare more poorly with
non-maternal care than did females in all domains." They concluded that
"The results of the present study indicate that children who experience
substantial non-maternal care during infancy and childhood are at risk for
attachment, socio-emotional and behavioural problems. Accordingly, full-time
non-maternal care for infants and young children is contraindicated* as this
would put a substantial proportion of the population at risk for
psychological maladaptation. The present findings give no support for the
belief that high quality day care is an acceptable substitute for parental
care."
*Contraindicated
- a reason that makes it inadvisable to employ a particular procedure or
treatment

study) suggested that long day care of more than 30 hours is a risk for

Increased risk of infections in group
child care
(In 1994, Ferson said) "Recent reports have documented increased risks of
infectious illness among children in group care, their family contacts and
the staff caring for them. Children who attend group care have more episodes
of upper respiratory and middle ear infections, pneumonia and
gastroenteritis than children cared for at home. They are also at increased
risk of life-threatening infection by Haemophilus influenzae type b.
Conditions which commonly affect adult contacts include upper respiratory
tract infections, hepatitis A, cytomegalovirus (CMV), enteric*
infections such as giardia, rotavirus and shigella, and skin infections and
infestations."
*Enteric =
Related to
the intestinal tract.
