A Child Left to Himself
by Stephen Flurry, The Trumpet,
Jan 2004, 'Train Up a Child' |
Writing for The Daily Mail
in London, Colette Douglas Home asked, “How many dog owners do you know who
check their pooch into kennels during office hours? I can’t think of any. Time without number I have heard people who would love to own a dog lament
their inability. ‘It wouldn’t be fair on the animal because we both work,’
they say. ‘We can’t offer a dog the attention, exercise and established
routine it takes to make them a well trained pet’” (Aug. 1, 2003).
Yet, she continued, many of these same people drop
their kids off at daycare facilities without hardly batting an eye.
“No doubt those parents will gnash their teeth in fury at the implication
that using daycare is treating an infant worse than they would a dog. I
don’t apologize. If we wouldn’t do it to a dog, it is something we all need
to think about.”

Learn to live with creative sons' mess
by
John Rosemond,
Lexington Herald-Leader,
2-Mar-04 |
Q. My son
will be 2-1/2 next month. I recently started a family day care at my
home. I took in a 3-year-old boy and a 16-month-old girl. My son
is not handling this change well. He has become extremely aggressive,
especially with the little girl. Yesterday he bit the little boy
for no reason.
A. ...The problem you describe is
fairly common among home day care operators with toddlers because
toddlers are generally not ready to share their
mothers with other children the same age or younger.

Universal preschool: An idea whose
time shouldn't come
by Joanne Jacobs,
San Francisco Chronicle, 4-Apr-04 |
(Universal Daycare) Advocates claim that
preschool improves school performance and pays off in higher graduation and
employment rates. Often they claim Head Start saves $6 or $7 for every
dollar spent. (But) This is based on the Perry Preschool Project, which
offered far more services than Head Start.
...Universal preschool will suck up money that could be used...for the
neediest kids.

Fear on nursery care
(daycare) forces rethink
by Madeleine Bunting, The Guardian, 8-Jul-04 |
The (British) government is reconsidering its
strategy on childcare in the face of mounting evidence that day nurseries
(daycare) for children under two can lead to increased incidence of
antisocial behaviour and aggression.

Fear on nursery care
(daycare) forces rethink
by Madeleine Bunting, The Guardian, 8-Jul-04 |
But the popularity of nurseries (daycares)...does
not match the conclusions of researchers around the world. Their remarkably
similar findings indicate that group-based care can have
damaging effects on some aspects of emotional
and social development for the under two age group.
