The childcare conspiracy
by Bettina Arndt, Herald Sun, Melbourne,
Australia, 16-Sep-05 |
Anne Manne spent the next 10 years
producing a book that lifts the lid on one of our society's nasty secrets.
(in) her new book, Motherhood: How should we care for our children?,...she
exposes the efforts of Australia's child development experts to deliberately
play down the solid body of evidence showing young children, and
particularly infants, may be damaged by long hours in group care.

The childcare conspiracy
by Bettina Arndt, Herald Sun, Melbourne,
Australia, 16-Sep-05 |
Conclusive results from huge
international studies recently led the British Government to make a dramatic
about-face and shift from promoting childcare for infants and toddlers to
paid parental leave.
...Similarly, the Scandinavian countries have given up trying to provide
quality infant childcare and are now promoting parental leave.

The childcare conspiracy

Australia, 16-Sep-05 |

The childcare conspiracy
by Bettina Arndt, Herald Sun, Melbourne,
Australia, 16-Sep-05 |
Newcastle University pediatrics
professor Graham Vimpani (says) "There's a huge level of denial based on
fear," suggesting that having long promoted childcare, many of his
colleagues are now nervous and guilty about the prospect that group care for
children under two years old carries real risks.

Official: babies do best with mother
by Yvonne Roberts, The Observer, 2-Oct-05
|
One of the longest and most detailed
studies of UK childcare has concluded that young children who are looked
after by their mothers do significantly better in developmental tests than
those cared for in nurseries (daycares), by childminders or relatives.
The study on children from birth to three will reignite the controversy over
the best way to bring up young children. It found babies and toddlers fared
worst when they were given group nursery care.
According to Penelope Leach, a leading British childcare expert and one of
the study's authors, the social and emotional development of children cared
for by someone other than their mother 'is definitely less good'.
Such children tend to show higher levels of aggression or are inclined to
become more withdrawn, compliant and sad.

Official: babies do best with mother
by Yvonne Roberts, The Observer, 2-Oct-05
|
'For example, a ratio of one member of staff to
three toddlers may mean...one employee on a break and another preparing
lunch. This leaves one adult trying to cope with a large group of
toddlers. And we are not talking about one bad nursery but a pattern
across the country.'

The study, by British childcare guru Penelope
Leach, warns that children under three in day care are more likely to be

Dr. Leach's seven-year study in Britain tested 1200 babies' ability to
complete a series of tasks and the level of eye contact they maintained with
adults.
