Idea of 'quality time' a Delusional Cop-Out
by Kathleen Parker, The Orlando Sentinal,
14-May-97 |
Parents also delude
themselves into thinking their day-care kids are doing fine simply
because they "seem" to be. Children don't necessarily give outward
signs of distress at early ages. The effects...show
up later -- on the shrink's couch or the police log.
...We've spent millions of dollars researching the causes of divorce
and the effects of day care on children only to discover the obvious.
Waiting for the experts to tell us what should have been instinctive is like
calling the weather man to find out if it's raining.

...Those silly elongated words with the hyperextended vowels (cooing) ...
aren't just adult blubbering but teaching tools.
...Matthew Melmed, executive director of the Zero to Three Foundation, a
Washington nonprofit child advocacy group, put the study's findings in
context: "As this new scientific research comes out, we know there is a
major gap between what babies need and what they're getting (in day care),"
he said. "I don't mean to sound melodramatic, but we're putting the next
generation at risk."

Care,
by Dr. Stanley I. Greenspan,
The Washington Post, 19-Oct-97 |
..in the rush to improve and increase child care,
we are ignoring a more fundamental reality: Much of the child care
available for infants and toddlers in this country simply isn't good for
them...

The Reasons Why We Need to Rely less on Day
Care,
by Dr. Stanley I. Greenspan,
The Washington Post, 19-Oct-97 |
Even in good day care centers, we've seen many an
eager, expectant 8-month-old baby give up and stare at the wall as his
caregiver stops by his crib briefly but then hurries away to attend to a
crying rival
