Home Truths*
Absent in Early childcare Debate:
We Need Parent-Friendly Policy Options by Peter Cook,
The Australian, 24-Mar-99
*Home Truths = A key or basic truth that is
uncomfortable to acknowledge |
More subsidized, universally available,
affordable, high quality, professional childcare is often advocated as a way
of advancing the interests of women.
Yet early long day care is not in the best
interests of very young children and their families. Evidence
increasingly suggests that this childcare agenda is misconceived, because
it:
- Is unrealistic, as it is often unaffordable and unachievable.
- Overlooks accumulating evidence of risks of undesirable outcomes.
- Is contrary to much expert opinion about what is likely to be best for
very young children...
- (Argues) that mothers can be largely replaced by trained carers
(daycare workers)
- Makes adequate breastfeeding difficult or impossible.
A rethink is needed.

Popular Letter Makes it to Washington by
Jessica Wehrman, The San Angelo Standard-Times,
17-Jun-99 |
"...it couldn't have been because we place our
children in day-care centers where they learn their socialization skills
among their peers under the law of the jungle while employees who have no
vested interest in the children look on and make sure that no blood is
spilled..."
(This was taken from San Angelo resident
Addison Dawson's letter to this newspaper was published on the 27th of April
1999 in the aftermath of the Columbine High School shooting. It has
been read by radio personality Paul Harvey, and was read by House of
Representatives Majority Whip Tom Delay during a congressional debate on gun
control -- Editor).

Teens really want parents more involved in
their lives, by Cal Thomas,
Lexington Herald-Leader,
18-Oct-99 |
…spending less time at the office and pulling
back from our pursuit of material wealth are offensive to our definition of
happiness and success. Warehoused in day care early on and later
paid little attention to…teenagers seek ways to express their anger at
feeling rejected and unloved.
