Pressure on for Better Child Care System
by Cynthia Whitfield,

Eugene, Oregon, 26-Nov-90 |
Deborah Lowe Vandell, professor of educational
psychology at the University of Wisconsin, did a study of 236 third-graders'
day care histories and found children who'd had more than 30 hours a week of
child care during infancy had poorer peer relationships, were harder to
discipline and had poorer work habits.
...She concluded that there is a "serious problem" with infant care.

Beverly Fagot, a professor of psychology at the
University of Oregon, says some of the drawbacks of day care include the
potential for stress and tiredness in a long day spent with many small
children. In addition, "these kids get sick a lot," Fagot says. The various
illnesses may have an indirect psychological affect on children because sick
children are not at their best and may be "sick, tired and stressed out" in
a busy day care center setting.

Illness is increasingly recognized as a
serious day care problem. A recent report from the Centers for Disease
Control found that young children cared for primarily outside their homes
are at increased risk for both minor and major illnesses because they're
exposed to so many other children at such an early age. They're more likely
to get a high number of colds and flu, strep throat, infectious hepatitis
and spinal meningitis, as well as other diseases.

Until recently it was thought that this (getting
sick in daycare) was OK
because babies were merely building up immunities they'd have to build up
later anyway, when beginning preschool or kindergarten. But studies have
found that delaying group care makes sense...older children have lower rates
of illness and disease because children are more resistant as they get
older.

In addition, the way babies and toddlers interact
makes transmission of illness more likely (in daycare). Babies drool, suck fingers and
then touch teachers, toys and each other. Diaper changing also carries risk
of transmitting infection. Babies are also simply more vulnerable to
disease. These illnesses spread out into the community, creating more sick
adults as well.

Sweden does not allow children younger than 6
months in day care. The government provides financial help for families so a
parent may remain home for at least a year with a new baby.
