Letter to fellow pediatricians from the

by Dr. Joseph Zanga, President of AAP, American Academy
of Pediatrics News, 01-Jan-98 |
It's becoming increasingly clear that allowing
even the best of child care programs to raise our offspring doesn't
substitute for the time that children need from their mothers and fathers.

A dangerous experiment in child rearing,
by Andrew Peyton Thomas,
Wall Street
Journal,
8-Jan-98 |
Ours is now a day-care culture.
...We are witnessing a momentous experiment in the raising of children. Yet
there are few stirrings in the culture suggesting anything but a complacent
acceptance of this revolution in child rearing. Few political, cultural or
religious leaders have spoken out against the growing practice of abandoning
infants to paid strangers. Yet recent research, not to mention common
sense, tells us that this quiet overhaul of American families is a profound
tragedy whose bitter fruit will be reaped for decades to come.

Social science confirms that babies raised in
day-care centers and similar institutions are often emotionally maladjusted.
child development expert Edward Zigler of Yale has gone so far as to call
daycare "psychological thalidomide*."
Research beginning in the early 1970s has found that such children are more
likely to be violent, antisocial and resistant to basic discipline.
*Thalidomide, a drug introduced in the 1950s, was prescribed for nausea and
insomnia in pregnant women. Later, it was found to be the cause of
severe birth defects in children whose mothers had taken the drug
during their first trimester of
pregnancy.

A 1985 study by Ron Haskins in Child Development,
another scholarly journal, compared two groups of day-care children and
found that those who had spent more time in day
care suffered from proportionally greater ill effects, regardless of the
quality of care.

Other studies have concluded that lengthy stays
in day-care centers impair children's mental ability. In 1995, the National
Institute of Mental Health published a joint U.S.-Israeli study that found
children raised in Israeli communes known as
kibbutzim, who received 24-hour day
care, were at significantly greater risk of developing schizophrenia and
other serious mental disorders.
