Nurseries are safe and secure - but are they
bad for your baby?
by Rebecca Abrams,
The Daily Telegraph, (UK)
6-Dec-03 |
But one-to-one care is
not just nice for babies, it's essential.
...Within an hour of birth, babies are responding to the way they're
handled, looked at and talked to. "Still face" experiments with
10-week-old babies, in which mothers don't react in any way, show that
babies are highly sensitive and quickly become distressed when a response is
absent or inappropriate.
The delicate, finely turned responsiveness that occurs naturally between
most mothers and their babies is not only moving to behold, it affects in
fundamental ways how babies' brains develop.
...babies don't need socialising and stimulating;
they need to be sensitively loved by the people caring for them. Lack
of eye contact, lack of baby talk, lack of gentle playful touch: all have long-term consequences.

Being treated like a pack of Pampers is not just
unfortunate, as any researcher worth his or her salt will admit.
The true emotional and psychological effects of
neglectful or insensitive care in infancy may not show up at four or five,
but 20 or 30 years down the line, in our relationships with our children,
friends, husbands and wives.
What we're talking about is how highly we value the capacity to think, to
empathise, to love. What we're talking about is the kind of society
we're creating for the future.
